MUSEUM OF SOUTH ASIAN ART, TAKE A LOOK!

Yes Gene, their collections are in World class, besides the two knifes you mention the scabbard mount and the lion headed dagger are also of a very high class – not to mention all the other things they show. Thank you for bringing he link up again.

... and here is something that might blow your mind: you can make an appointment to see everything in the collection that is not on display. You need to have some reason other than mere curiosity, but "research" worked for me.

Mark Please explain yourself - what do you mean?

Jens, I believe Mark is referring to the fact the Museum does not display its entire collection, and those items not currently on display are available for viewing. If one can articulate a reason.

I know Mark set up an appointment to view a portion of the collection not on display for research purposes.

Sounds terrific, unfortunately very few museums would be willing to do that – they are understaffed as they say

.
Do they have B&B should the viewing take more than one day

?
