Visited the exhibition on Charles the Bold in the Historisches Museum on a rainy Sunday a while back. Really worth it! Also loved the medieval machinery (battering ram, water mill, treadmill elevator) on exhibit outside. And nary a soul in the Sonderausstellung (hit a left in the entrance hall), now it's "religion and art around the world". Along with the jousting, really great value for the money!

Hallo, old chap.

Can't make this one, but when we're home next, we get to do this from the other side of the rope barriers...

Unfortunately, I don't get to be Emperor anymore, unlike at the Museum of London a few years back...
