Oh shit niggers, what's this?
/museum/ thread.
I went to this WW2 museum in Massachusetts today. Shit was lit af.
Sorry for the shitty pictures. The light in there was weird and it's hard to take good pictures when you're cumming in your pants every 30 seconds. They let you pick stuff up too, so I got to handle most of the rifles and SMGs

Natick, MA.
It's actually a private collection. They wouldn't let me take pictures of the nazi stuff because they don't want the place turning into a /pol/ mecca and getting shut down. They had a ton of Hitler's personal effects. They had his dog's collar! They had his personal address book, the chair he wrote Mein Kampf in, his toiletries, Eva Braun's makeup compact. All kinds of high-level collector shit.

This looks like a Lee Enfield and some kind of mock up training rifle? Some semi auto rifle that I don't recognize but I k is I should.
Sorry, I'm distracted right now. Will post more later.

Ok, I'm back. Sorry.

b45a3a No.532023
Webley, Colt .32, and a Liberator
b45a3a No.532024
Wait, that's a Nagant revolver, not a Webley, right? I'm tired.
Here's a supressed rifle and a crossbow type thing. The picture quality will improve a bit. Bare with me.

I turn the corner and I'm like aww shit, a mufuggin tank up in here. They said it was shot up in Europe, used as a ballast on a ship for a while, then they replaced the main gun with a flamethrower and widened the track and sent it to the Pacific. You could see bullet wounds on it. Pretty bad ass.
b45a3a No.532028
Some recoiless rifles, another Browning 1919, Browning .50cal, M1 Garand, and a Winchester model 12? Doesn't look like a Trench gun configuration and I thought they were still using model 97s in WW2.

Near as I can tell that looks like a 1910 pattern prototype Nagant. I didn't think those were ever issued anywhere, wonder if some wannabe Maquis grabbed it out of a museum or reference collection like happened with so many rare arms after the allies came through.
That Colt though, fuck I love the look of a 1903 in military trim.

I need to go to sleep and it's taking like 10 minutes to post shit for some reason. I will finish the thread tomorrow.
Here's a Goliath remote control bomb, some big ass mortar, and another Thompson.

Damn. Is it specifically a tank museum? I gotta see that.
Anyways, here's a couple of the propaganda posters that stood out to me. They had some awesome racist caricature anti-jap and anti-jew posters but once again, they don't allow photographing that stuff.
Also, here's some various smoke, fragmentation, and rifle-grenades.
164bee No.532113
And a couple PPSH submachineguns, a DP, and I have no idea. Some kind of bakelite submachinegun? I don't recognize it. This place had a serious lack of Soviet stuff. Mostly German/American/British.
164bee No.532115
Willy jeep with Thompson and grease gun. Lewis gun next to that weird bakelite thing.

That's about all I've got. All in all, this might be one of the best museums I've ever been to. The war museum in London, WW2 museum in New Orleans, The Museum de Armas in Buenos Aires, and this place are all at the top of my favorites list. The quality of some of the stuff here was unreal. They had Hitler's toilet paper and mustache comb and shit. It's hard to top that.

The WW2 History Museum in New Orleans is a piece of shit tourist trap, they put you on a train car to watch a video and tells you to register on their website to follow the story of a soldier of the war and they put you in a 4D movie theater to watch shit you already knew and how evil the Germans were and how brave out soldiers were. The exhibits don't tell you anything aside from the nukes were made which was the only intelligent thing in the whole exhibit with a lot of diagrams and thesis' on the big bombs, aside from that there was nothing new to learn or see that you could've learned on /pol/ and /k/ for a few hours. Fuck that place and fuck that shithole city it smells like piss and there were niggers everywhere.

I remember going to the Imperial War Museum when I was 10 or so on a school trip and we had to go through the holocaust bit, tons of propaganda pictures depicting the most Jewish Jews possible, was fucking hilarious to me and my classmates.

I have some photos from various WW1 museums, but they're all taken with a phone and look bad.

Since there are already two I'm not going to make another /museum/ thread. So, today I went to the Art Institute in Chicago and checked out the nice renaissance/medieval arms and armor exhibit. I didn't take a lot of pictures since I only had my phone but I captured a few interesting things. Some of these might be shit quality.
