The Higgins Armory Museum in Worcester, MA

by Eric Slyter

I had the opportunity to visit the Higgins Armory Museum in Worcester, Massachusetts in December of 1998. There are many splendid items of armour, from many cultures and time periods, on display at the Higgins, and the pics below are just a tiny sample of the tons of great stuff they have on exhibit. Since my camera left a lot to be desired, the pics below are a selection of the ones that turned out best. There is lots of stuff at the Higgins, it is a must-see!
