Lorenzo's call for historical information and photographs inspired me to ask this question. Where around where you live can you see historical examples of maille?
I am hoping that by starting this thread it can become a resource for people who are traveling so they can know were to find maille exhibits or collections where ever your travels take you.
My first contribution is:
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
4525 Oak Street
Kansas City, Missouri
USA
Hours:
Wed, 10 a.m.—4 p.m.
Thurs, Fri, 10 a.m.—9 p.m.
Sat, 10 a.m.—5 p.m.
Sun, Noon—5 p.m.
Admission is free.
They have a couple selections of both European and Japanese armor, as well as interesting stone carvings of the ancient Philistine armies.

Ask questions.
Try new things.
Share what you know.

This is an excellent idea for a thread.
My contribution, besides what I've already posted in the gallery, Is that Jon of www.theringlord.com has a collection of antique maille purses. It's a private collection and not open to public viewing. If you're ever in the area of Saskatoon you could ask politely in advance to arrange for a shop tour and perhaps to see this collection.

My wife said that she saw some great pieces in the tower of London, but unfortunately I was not on that trip so can only go on second hand knowledge.

| The Wallace Monument (near Stirling, Scotland) had a bit of chainmaille and Wallace's sword (witch is awsome) and Glamis (pronounced Glams) Castle, north of Dundee and also in Scotland, has some nice pieces (both armour and weapons) |

I took this information from a post ZiLi posted in another thread. He said that there was an ex bijouterie factory in Idar-Oberstein, Germany that had a museum there that not only showed maille, but the machines and some pattern books that date to the early 1900's.
ZiLi please correct me if I mis-quoted you. Thanks for the information.

You can find maille in the strangest places. On a family vacation I ran into some maille in the Overland Trail Museum, in Sterling, Colorado. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera along, who would expect maille in a pioneer museum, but there it was. In the sink of the replica house was a maille pot scrubber made of split rings and solid (I believe welded) rings.
Keep your eyes open it is out there!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC has some. I'm sure I also saw some at the Detroit Art Institute.
I also have a few antique maille purses, which anyone is welcome to make an appointment to take a look at if they happen to be wandering through Maine. |

Another sighting of a VERY early Byzantine was located at the Metropolitan Museum and I thought I would mention it even though Dweezle also made mention.
