Our tour tickets allowed us re-enter for seven days after the initial tour, so we grabbed the tickets and headed into the cathedral museum. At first it seemed to be just a medium sized room but when we got to the back of that room we saw that there was more to it. Then we took an elevator up to the third floor and there was so much more! What a delightful few hours.
My newest acquisition!
It seemed like a rather small museum at first
Lots of figurines, this is a pilgrim
Lots of jewelry
No end of crucifixes
This one was very detailed and superbly done
Now Leslie is rethinking about getting a fold up fan
This little pig got into the silver
Why royals go for the genetic freak of a two headed bird?
Nest to the fireplace is a little passageway, is this for the cats to be able to get to the rats?
"Check Mate" appropriate to say in a chess match and at the end of your meal while in Australia
This is so very detailed
Gold, silver and thousands of manhours
After we saw all the shiny bits they had these rescued carved stone angles
They date to 1200 but have been in recent times in a discarded stone pile
The cathedral went through many "updates" and sections had to be removed to accommodate the new construction.
We took the elevator up to the 3rd floor and found a space four times bigger than what initially we thought to be the museum
Great lighting
So many stone carvings
There was a video playing in the museum and I took pictures of the close up pictures I wan not allowed to take pictures of
Meercats
The giant incense censor hangs from this spot
Lots of monsters
More monsters
This alter was off limits for pictures
A set of angles hold up the top of the alter
Here is what they were holding up
There are two organs and the pipes are oriented horizontally instead of vertically
Blasting sound out from both sides
A head with wings
Stone musicians playing a two person instrument
We three steeds of granite we are...
Bringing the bread
Nice hats!
Another musician
What could be worse than having a monster grab your legs with its tentacles and bite your tongue out
How about a beast biting your tender bits!
It has been 4 years and 101 days since we began our Migration
