So I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with my nephew recently because he wanted to see the Arms and Armour section. What a brief but fascinating look into the craftsmanship of war. Even a modern day warrior has much to learn from the past; tactics and strategies that worked, the effectiveness of tools and even the psychology of combat. But this being a museum, one can't help admire the individual artistry and attention to detail that went to making each weapon, shield and piece of armour here.
You should be in awe when you open up these cases, otherwise, you're not paying attention.
