Amsterdam Historical Museum

We did a day trip to the Amsterdam Historical Museum. I took some pictures of medieval leatherwork finds from the Bogs in the Netherlands since in tact leatherwork is rare from that period and I. I was pleased and half surpised to see such widespread use of the tooling of leather. I have been told, by people who should know better, that this was not done in period. See for yourself.

Also, lot's of great sample so turn shoes and boots here.

Dutch power really came into it's own in the late period and most of the museum is focused on that. I found the maritime displays interesting and worthwhile, but nothing that I really felt motivated to photograph.
