Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel Armor Court
About The Exhibition
Four historically significant suits of armor from the Imperial Habsburg Armory in Vienna, Austria, are being displayed in the armor court for the next three years. The selection focuses on children’s armor and weapons to illustrate how a military education played an important role in training boys to become a knight. A few objects from the CMA’s own collection of children’s armor are being shown alongside these magnificent loans.
