Glad to hear it has a shop now – I was very disappointed that it didn't when I was there in 2012. My favourite exhibit was the splendid Gruson Panzerfahrlafette link Chris |

Great photos, O Konstantinos! When I visited in 2004, they not only didn't have a gift shop, they wouldn't let me take photos inside. I did get photos of the artillery outside, and the replica Farman plane. I'm sure I need to go back! I've saved your photo of the Dervish shield. I couldn't figure out why they had it, but I did appreciate getting to see the shield. Grelber |

I can imagine myself going there but find it hard to imagine leaving it! The Bronze Age stuff was the pick for me but it's clearly an outstanding museum. |

Konstantinos, did you notice if any of the books were on the 18th century – dress and weaponry? Thanks and regards C |

Chokidar, for that you would be better off looking at the National Historical Museum. I think there were some. (I have a thread for that somewhere, and if you click on the museum's label on my blog you can see the post there.) |

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond, most kind. I shall try that straight away. Thanks again and kind regards C |

Thanks for the photos. Nice-looking museum, although, sadly, the old-style display case glass really picks up the glare and reflections, but certainly comprehensive coverage. |
