    Hi Bob,
    I've had a long time interest in The Boxer Rebellion- probably after viewing '55 Days at Peking' movie staring Charlton Heston, David Niven and Ava Gardner. The Diorama is a beaut...I may be wrong -though some of the figures look to be made by 'Tradition'. Thanks for posting. Regards. KEV.

      Kev Robertson (Kev),

      55 DAYS AT PEKING also inspired my interest in the Boxer Rebellion, and seeing these figures has revived it.

      All the best,

      Bob

      Mike Blake,

      The whole museum is wonderful, and my photos only cover a tiny part of what’s on display.

      All the best,

      Bib
