Coins is nice, but the Museum has a few other exhibits – it’s not a large museum or particularly stunning in its collection, but I liked the feel of it. I do have some commentary about the art depicting life in the Stone Ages, though. About half the population seemed to be missing in most paintings, and you can probably guess which half.
But the exhibit design was, as with the coins, quite interesting:

I did not take photos of everything, as it was mostly different kinds of pottery and metalwork, but allow me to present a few of my favourites:

An absolutely stunning piece of glasswork. © rq, all rights reserved.
The design of these cloakpins seemed oddly familiar. © rq, all rights reserved.

And this! Was a piece of musical notation from a few hundred years ago. Religious music, if I recall correctly, and I find it fascinating. And I’m curious as to how it should be interpreted. © rq, all rights reserved.

Well, they included the history-makers. They couldn’t help it if the other half never did anything of consequence.
I love the interior architecture in the first one.
The ceiling in the first photo is fabulous. Is it made of wood?
Actually, the whole room is fabulous with all that glass and exhibit lighting.
