Suit up for a day at the museum!
The show is on loan from the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts, which is building a new facility to house its arms and armor collection. The Cummer was the first museum to sign up for the show and is the third stop on its national tour. It will remain at the Cummer through Jan. 22.
Almost all of the pieces are European, from the mid-1300s to the mid-1600s, when advances in firearms technology made the suits impractical.But the exhibition also includes helmets from Japan, India and north Africa and a few pieces dating back as far as 2000 BC. It also includes a shield with a built-in gun , child-sized armor, armor for horses, swords and daggers, spears and battle axes.
