Pics from the Musee Curtuis in Liege, Belgium

Post by Fearghus Macildubh »

A few weeks ago we took a road trip to the Musee Curtius http://www.grandcurtiusliege.be/ in Liege, Belgium. It has a large collection of arms and armour, along with paintings and exceptional glassware. At the link below are pictures of the armour and statuary.

Nice pictures, but I wish you'd taken pictures of the labels that went with the items. Esp. of things like #66, and #103...

Ufortunately, the arms and armour were at the very end of the museum and we had a hungry and tired 6 year old girl. The stove was a Roman camp stove found near Liege. I can't remember the knife, my lady may have taken that picture. Actually, she takes all the good pictures, but she might have taken that without my prompting.
