Dahlam Berlin
Well I finally got to Berlin last weekend and great fun was had. The most excellent beer and once found the most delicious "German" food. I have taken a few pictures of things that people might find interesting. Sadly there is not a lot of weapons on display but the Dalham has very fine objects. Whole ocean sailing craft from Tonga and other islands. The most wonderful eye popping sculpture from New Ireland. I even took a picture or two of Indian weapons as I know most members are in that groove. Lots to crop and show so it will be a series of replies. Frist lovely things from New Caledonia. The biggest with the brown colour jade like stone is at least 15 inches in diameter. Super! I am now think of Koln in the very near future.

Crocodile tears
Large heavy staff. I did not take notes but I would say it was Admiralty islands. You might need to put some cream on that!

Museum Volkenkunde, Leiden
Don't know how you are travelling, but if by car from the UK to Germany, you may want to detour via Leiden in Holland - if their on-line collection is anything to go by, you may not even get to Germany....
Its about 30km north of Rotterdam see: http://www.rmv.nl/index.aspx?lang=en |

Hello. If ever anybody will stumble upon any Philippine object, kindly please post the info in this thread. If I'll have the chance to be in the region one of these days, I'll surely find time to visit those museums. Regards to all!

I have visited the Klingenmuseum in Solingen several times. It is not an etnic museum, but shows an incredible collection on edged tools from all ages / origins. You'll find pieces dating from stone age, luristan, celtic / viking / till modern times. If you're fond of knives, it is a must see!
More info on http://www.klingenmuseum.de/cms/index.php cheers Tim |
