That was essentially it for the European collection. There used to be a fairly large collection of pistols and guns, but it's gone now.
The rest of the pics show a nice collection of African, Indian and Persian (misc Middle-Eastern) items. Lots of gold, jade, rock crystal and wootz! Some really nice clubs too, the Fijian and Papuan ones are HUGE

That was essentially it for arms and armour. I didn't take pictures of all other ethnographic items, but as Lee said, the museum does deserve a full day visit. It is quite strong in the natural history department, as well as Asian and Mediterranean cultures, particularly BA Greco-Roman. Writing this I realize I didn't take pictures of the Chinese and Japanese exhibits, which do include some very good suits of armour, and a good range of swords and pole-arms.
I have a contact at the museum, and I will see about getting access to the stuff in the vaults. Emanuel --here is a parting shot of the ROM -- |
