My wife and I had only three and a half hours to tour the Metropolitan Museum of Art (a task requiring at least several days), so I budgeted my time as best I could: I spent two and half of those hours in the Arms and Armour room. Wasn't nearly enough, of course. I barely had time to take photos, and no time at all to jot down details. So while many of these suits of armor have been identified as to time and country - and some even by owner - I lack that info. Still, they're pretty cool to look at. Stay tuned for more.

Doesn't that collection have dog armor as well?
If so, I missed it!
I love this sort of thing. So thanks for sharing.
I must be thinking of another museum..wish I could remember which one.
Can't judge by me, Shay. I had to blow through there pretty fast, and spent most of my time ogling the swords and guns.
One of those reminds me of a Lido knight.
