Monday Moments at the Museum

A few Sundays ago, I caught up with a friend to enjoy A Knight's Tale at the Arlington Museum of Art. A close up  look at the decorative detail on helmets, swords, weaponry, and more were displayed. 
 
 This exhibit was from the Museo Stibbert in  Florence, Italy. Armor, mounted equestrian, etc  - 130  pieces from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and up to the 1800s.  It was all quite interesting and we spent an hour perusing. 

 I keep saying - check out the nooks and crannies in  your neighborhood - small museums are a delight.

    That would be cool. Medieval armor is fascinating.

      the pieces are truly works of art. It was a sign of power and money, that's for sure

    thecontemplativecat@blogspot.com Blogspot and/or Goggle won't allow me to sign in as myself. ergo the Anonymous. My oldest daughter was involved one year or two in the Medieval Fairs. sewing some amazing costumes. when her children started coming, she had to quit. It was interesting.

      Thanks for visiting. Medieval fairs are big. Our local library has one and there’s a big turnout. The clothing and armor from that time period are fun and dramatic.

    Hi Joanne - sounds fun and yes when there's not so much to see - one can pay more attention. So glad you got to visit - cheers Hilary
