Alava Armoury Museum reopening

[Iagoba]

Saturday 11th, from 11:30 in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Vasque Country, Spain. More info (sorry, only in Spanish) here
and photos here





For kids, there will be handicrafts, making their own shields, teaching the basics of heraldry, and with a sword, let them "fight"

For older people, 8 "impressions" dating from a IV century (late Roman) legionary (courtesy of Cohors Prima Gallica) to a XIX century fencing master, with a lot of medieval soldiery between, plus more (I will have to speak a lot, it seems), and of course, there are the real exhibits of the museum.

To end, a show of medieval longsword fight and explanation (that´s my part, too) :roll:



I know that the "roman" pieces of this museum are quite...few and funny :roll: , so I posted this here.

Somehow, a year ago I asked something about the Japanese armours to the Directress, and a year later, after a time closed for accesibility improving, I´m organizing the re-opening event.8)

It´s quite unlykely that anyone from RAT we´ll be near enough to attend, buut... :roll: maybe someone finds this interesting.

BTW, my first time organizing an event, and with just aged 22 (plus a week!) hock:

And the photo, biggest and in colour, of that just moment of me going to be thrown to the floor, courtesy of the photographer, Alex Larretxi:

Oskar, fellow comilitione from Cohors Prima Gallica, also was there (extreme right in the foto). Children´s faces are priceless twisted:

All went enough perfect (for my first event :roll: ) and we make a good impression on people, kids, and museum and political staff. They asked us to do something in Christmas!
