From the warriors of ancient Greek legends to the knights of the middle ages to today's comic book superheroes, the idea of personal body armor has an enduring hold on the human imagination. Armor is as old and widespread as civilization itself, but full suits of articulated steel plates were made only in Europe, and only for a brief time in the late middle ages and renaissance. This rare exhibition of highlights from one of America's foremost collections of arms and armor explores the story of armor in its golden age.
The catalog and many others are available to purchase in the DAM's Shop or online.
