Mielno Wojewodztwo Olsztynskie, Poland

and

Archaeological and Ethnological Museum of Lodz, Poland

Anybody ever heard of them or know how to find them?

Of course I also am looking for other extant pieces of 1250-1430 armour in Poland if anyone knows of any other than what is at Wawel Castle.

I am also searching for the present location of the pieces excavated at a fortified manor house at Plemieta, near Brodnica, Chelmno Region, Poland.

here is the info I could find:

The museum in Lodz, at least here is a fax and mail address, no email though: http://www.princeton.edu/~bogucki/maie.html

The second museum as far as I can tell is in Olsztyn. The old German name was Allenstein (this was contested real estate during both world wars). There is a castle with a museum there. "Olsztynskie" means "from or of Olsztyn" like "American" means to "America"

The castle museum is called´: "Muzeum Warmii i Mazur", it is located in the castle. Apart from that museum the town only has a planetary observary: http://www.olsztyn.uninet.pl/kultura/mwim.html

Doug, if you aready know this, please accept my apologies: When calling or faxing to Europe you will also need your International exit code (usually 011) and the country code to Poland (48), and then leave out the 0 in front of the regional prefix. The Princeton site already includes country code and leaves out the zero in front of the regionla prefix (42)
