When in Toronto, do not miss the Royal Ontario Museum

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.
