Higgins Armory Museum, located in Worcester, Massachusetts, housed in a steel Art Deco Building, is the sole museum in the Western Hemisphere devoted to arms and armour.[2] The museum is a public, non-profit museum specializing in the history of arms and armor. John Woodman Higgins built a unique steel and glass structure to house his collection of armor, one of the largest such collections in the world. Currently, the museum features thousands of pieces from the ancient military traditions of Western Europe, Ancient Rome, Feudal Japan, and beyond. It is one of the largest arms and armor collections in the world with over 80 suits of armor spanning the Medieval to renaissance and early modern periods. Source: ( visit link)
