So please, do not worry about the museums, they are all the same.

This museum has a lot of rare examples of weapons and armor but their images are for the most part really horrible, how hard it it to properly photograph an item even if you can not correctly identify it.

Here is a perfect example, a very rare pair of Indian armored shoes, so badly photographed that you can hardly see any details, there is no excuse for this, I can take a better photo with a cell phone.
