Adam Savage tags along with Met Museum conservator Sean Belair for a hands-on tour of their Arms and Armor lab, tracing the wild evolution of medieval full-face cavalry helmets. From dialed-in vision and breathing slots to reinforced steel plates that could shrug off lance blows, you’ll see centuries of engineering smarts in action.
Beyond gawking at battle-ready headgear, the duo pulls back the curtain on restoration secrets and how the Met keeps these legendary pieces looking sharp. Stick around ‘til the end—there’s a helmet surprise that even Adam didn’t see coming!
