An old iron suit and a replica offer a way to look at protection, movement and reconstruction.
The museum's iron armour was joined from 709 iron plates.
Compare surviving material with a replica when both are displayed.
Notice how labels distinguish an ancient object from a modern reconstruction.
Ask whether the iron armour and its replica are currently on view before making a special trip. The collection belongs to the King's Tomb site, not the separate Palace site. This is a viewing idea; armour-making sessions are not included.
