Treasures from the Musee de l’Armee

Olivier Renaudeau, a curator from the Musée de l’Armée in Paris, presents two objects from their collection, connected to the Field of the Cloth of Gold.

The Musée de l’Armée had agreed to loan these objects to feature in the Royal Armouries physical exhibition in Leeds, which has been delayed due to the global Covid-19 pandemic.

Now instead they have created a film for each object so we can enjoy them virtually.

Five episodes will be published over the next few weeks:

• 16 June – Buckler of Henry VIII
• 23 June – Foot combat armour by Nicolo Silva

Sorry, there was a YouTube error.

Thanks to our colleagues and friends at the Musée de l’Armée for making these films. Be sure to check out their website and explore the rest of their amazing collection.
