			On June 22nd of this year I had the opportunity to visit the Museo Civico Medievale in Bologna, Italy.  In this thread I'll share 28 of the photos.  Let me know if want any other close-ups; I have much higher resolution pictures available.  This museum is definitely worth a visit if you are in the city!

			Excellent pics, thanks very much for sharing them. Was there perchance any armour displayed of which you might have gotten photos?

 Sorry, no armor at Museo Civico Medievale, but there was some at another museum. I will post that in a new thread.  |
