Tibetan Arms and Armor

The Tibetan Arms and Armor exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC and it's pretty amazing.  It also has the added twist of dispelling the seeming paradox that arises when entering the exhibit.  Why would, what we have come to see as an intensely peaceful people, have need of weapons?  Throughout the exhibit this question is answered and we come to understand the history and tumultuous times of the Tibetan people on much more intimate level then ever before.   Check it out here.
