A few shots taken at Higgins Armory Museum (Worcester, MA) one rainy Saturday a few weekends ago.

Nice armor. You don't see it too often. I wouldn't mind having a set for my foyer...but my wife is a bit resistant. Thanks for sharing.

I like that second one where you can see the rose window in the background. Nice shot!

Thanks for the comments guys! This museum is a little gem of a place tucked away almost in middle of nowhere in the next town to me.

Beachcomber - apparently they do have fencing classes weekly there, as well as live armor demonstrations! And I know that the main hall of the museum where most of the exhibits are, can be booked for events like weddings - that would be a great venue as well as making for fantastic photo opportunities!
