The Met Fifth Avenue

The Arms and Armor Court, Gallery 371 A line of mounted figures in full steel, horses armored too, is the moment the whole route gets loud. Among them is a German armor for man and horse dated 1548, from Nuremberg: the man's suit weighs about 56 pounds and the horse armor with saddle about 92. Circle the riders, then use any spare minutes in the surrounding arms and armor galleries. This is the room that convinces anyone who thinks the Met is only paintings.
