The addition of the Petersen collection has really taken the museum up a couple of notches. I've been through the museum twice. The first time was a two years or so back, and I hate to say it, but I came away not especially impressed - lots of guns but a lack of focus and not as many truly spectacular or unique pieces. That has changed. The "Petersen" guns have really added another dimension to it. Some really interesting pieces from many/most of the big makers - Purdey double rifles, Italian bests, high-grade American doubles, and on and on. Really worth a stop for the doublegun enthusiast.
