The very cool building sets the mood for an adventure into the world of knights and castles. The museum is wonderfully decorated throughout and has a one of a kind collection of armour spanning a full time line across the centuries and including extremely rare pieces and loans from distinguished galleries around the world. There is also a large section for children to play and try on armor and a large demonstration area with events throughout the day.  4

this place has to be one of a kind - the armory is a way to see the everyday peril and hardship of Camelot as well as the romance - children are able to dress in costume and there are maille and armor demonstrations throughout the day. A must-see.  4
