Simply astonishing. I had no idea that a collection like that existed for public display!

[@MarkKovnatskiy]

@@Slim2134 it does indeed! Make sure to visit it when you will be in Florence. Not to mention that it also worth it to visit this gorgeous city!

[@martinshirley8846]

The best museum ever i visited in my life, you need to prenote the visit for the japanese collection but remain absoluely amazing. Really interesting the garden too

[@alalder1533]

Been to Florence many times but did not know of this museum. Going back there this year so will pay a visit. Thanks for discovering it for me!

[@MarkKovnatskiy]

@@alalder1533 my pleasure! Having said that, I must warn you that despite the inexpensive ticket (10 €) it is impossible to walk around the museum by yourself there, you must necessarily be part of a tour group recruited from among the people who come. Thus, you have to be with the tour guide provided by the museum. The tour unfortunately only lasts for an hour, so you will have very little time to see everything in detail. Still, it's really worth it! By the way, feel free to subscribe to my channel!

[@alalder1533]

@@MarkKovnatskiy OK thanks for that. I've located the museum on Google Earth and will be in Ferenze for a few days so will sort that out.

Dang, I wished I had known about the museum in Florence while there.

[@MarkKovnatskiy]

@@PeterBex_ArtDirector Oddly enough, you're far from the only one who didn't know about this museum. On the day I was there, the entire group of tourists consisted of two people, including me, and the tour guide. At least now you know where to go the next time you're in Florence! Feel free to subscribe to my channel, by the way! I always appreciate it!

[@PeterBex_ArtDirector]

Thanks, man. I will definitely find the place.

[@МихаилБондарев-м4в]

Самый лучший музей средневекового оружия!

[@MarkKovnatskiy]

Well, at least one of the best, indeed.

[@khironcentauras9879]

Hi, check Vienna Hofburg palace, Wallace collection in London, Leeds Armoury in The UK.

[@MarkKovnatskiy]

@@khironcentauras9879 you also didn’t mention the Arsenal in Graz, Austria, as well as Metropolitan museum in New York.

[@michaelw.8614]

[@MB-oc1nw]

Italy manufactured some of the best armour of the medieval period

[@MarkKovnatskiy]

@@MB-oc1nw yes indeed!

these armors are not medieval but from renaissance on. XVI century onward

[@user-zo1uj2lo8k]

This answers the question on what people spent there money on back then

[@MarkKovnatskiy]

@@user-zo1uj2lo8k Which is pretty much natural, given that if you want good protection on the battlefield, you have to invest in it.

[@robjus1601]

I wonder if they have anything from the Maffei family?

[@MarkKovnatskiy]

Unfortunately, I don't know. I am planning to visit this museum this year too, I could ask.

[@robjus1601]

@ that would be awesome, thanks

[@florenceneri8240]

Sa doit être un petit musée ❤

[@MarkKovnatskiy]

No, on the contrary, the museum is quite large, housed in a castle.

[@artfx9]

What??? This is in Florence? Is it new?

[@MarkKovnatskiy]

@@artfx9 yes, it is in Florence, but it isn’t new.

[@artfx9]

[@florenceneri8240]

Je suit aller à Florence et je ke conaus pas et je kais jamais vue

[@MarkKovnatskiy]

I'm not surprised. Very few people know about this museum. In some ways it is even advantageous, because there are no huge crowds there, preventing you from familiarizing yourself with the museum's collection, besides, it is quite realistic to go there at any time and free to get in, unlike the Uffizzi Gallery.

[@ElenaRattenni]

Эти железные костюмчики нагревались от солнца? И каково было внутри ? 🤣

[@MarkKovnatskiy]

@@ElenaRattenni да, нагревались. Внутри было жарко. Но это лучше, чем попасть под удар мечом (копьём, алебардой, шестопёрои, нужное подчеркнуть) без защиты.

[@ElenaRattenni]

@ Ой, да какая это защита?… Представляете, как было голове в кастрюле? И сколько это всё весит - в этом невозможно было двигаться, не то что воевать.

[@MarkKovnatskiy]

@@ElenaRattenni вы сейчас выдали неслабый такой набор клише, ничего общего не имеющий с реальностью. Это если вкратце. А если чуть подробнее, то под доспехами, в том числе под шлемом носилась стеганая одежда, которая амортизировала удары даже тяжёлым оружием. Вес даже самых тяжелых доспехов вполне позволял не то что двигаться, а совершать кувырки, бегать и карабкаться на стены в случае необходимости. Полная выкладка современного пехотинца армии США, к примеру, весит сопоставимо с доспехом рыцаря 15-го века. И ничего, бегают, как миленькие, марш-броски на много километров.
