Arms and Armour

A 3D virtual gallery of arms and armour. Objects built to kill people, decorated as carefully as altarpieces, which tells you something uncomfortable about craftsmanship.

Every piece in this online exhibition comes from the Art Institute of Chicago's Open Access collection, released under CC0. Each label gives the artist, the date and the medium.
