| Today I briefly visited the Germanisches Nationalmusem. This is a neat collage made up of all the old Nuremberg street signs. |
 |
| A model of the museum. |
 |
| Another view. This photo was taken at the glass-topped entrance. |
 |
| An original Christian Codex. That's real gold. |
 |
| This bas-relief was made by hand from the opposite side. |
 |
| Andy's getting a little tired. |
 |
| "Kill all babies!?" -- AVGN, Bible Games |
 |
| This casket is suspended about three feet above the floor. It is inlaid with silver and gold. |
 |
| The bottom of the casket (which faces a mirror for convenience) has a lovely painting. |
 |
| Touching the sides results in an alarm. Of course someone set it off while I was there. |
 |
| The oldest pocketwatch in the world. |
 |
| The famous Schuesselfelder Schiff, a centerpiece commissioned by Nuremberg's Medicis, the Schuesselfelds. |
 |
| The flag bears the Schuesselfeld coat of arms. |
 |
| I love this sculpture of a hydra intertwined with a pair of antlers. The carved and natural shapes echo each other well. |
 |
| A collection of globes. |
 |
| Shrug! |
 |
| A massive apparatus designed to predict the relative positions of planets, moons, Earth, and the Sun. |
