very nice image collection

Maybe someone here will enjoy this as much as I have...

I thought I would share a site I came across that has a fantastic collection of images from several museums. His main interest seems to be bronze age but up to viking times are well represented.

I'm considering doing some repos of bronze pieces in steel after seeing this.

Some of his close-ups of hilts were very helpful to me when I was figuring out inlay techniques, he gets some great photos even through the glass museum cases.
