The Medieval Museum

Fortified by cappuccinos and half of a sandwich, we decided to go to the next museum on our list (in chronological order: yes, we do plan these things). As usual, there was too much to see and attend to in one visit, so we probably will go back. I had fun whistling some music from their collection of large illuminated manuscripts, and I really enjoyed the variety of faces and expressions on the sculptures. There were very few actual paintings, but many bas-reliefs. I have the feeling that this museum has more of an art-museum point of view than a historical point of view. A lot of their things are visually marvelous; for example, their room full of early guns concentrates on the most onately decorated specimens.
