AGE OF ARMOR: TREASURES FROM THE HIGGINS ARMOR COLLECTION AT THE WORCESTER ART MUSEUM

EXHIBITION

Entrance in Gallery 212

Age of Armor is a major survey of defensive armor in Europe from its origins in the 1300s to today. The exhibition is organized by the Worcester Art Museum, home to the nation’s second largest collection of arms and armor.

The exhibition begins with an ancient Greek helmet to demonstrate armor’s long history in Europe and includes superb helmets from Japan, India, and Sudan to suggest the universality of armor. The heart of the exhibition is in the glorious decorated armors—including several full suits—produced by Renaissance craftsmen in the 1500s. They will be installed so that visitors can appreciate these stunning suits from multiple vantages.

The St. Louis presentation of this exhibition will add examples of modern defensive gear developed by the U.S. Army as well as representations of armor from Hollywood films. The exhibition also will include depictions of armor in artworks from SLAM’s collection, including paintings by Lucas Cranach the Elder and the Rubens studio, prints by Albrecht Dürer, and rarely exhibited Flemish tapestries.
