Men at Arms Royal Armouries Museum Leeds

Men at Arms Royal Armouries Museum Leeds

This picture was taken in the Royal Armouries Museum Leeds and shows part of the men at arms display.

If you want to see displays featuring medievil warfare and suits of armour showing the development of arms and armour over the years the Royal Armouries Museum is one of the oldest museums in the world. The collection is split over 3 sites here in the UK.

Fort Nelson (Portsmouth)
Royal Armouries Museum (Leeds)

Since I started my Leeds in Yorkshire photography blog I get to visit the museums and art galleries here in Leeds quite a lot more often than I did before. I try also to see these places with a fresh view.

It is hard to imagine men in arms and on such large horses went into battle. A kind of mounted hand to hand combat.

Your visit will count and help me Make History.

Nothing like that here; love to see museums in other places.
