I'm still quite impressed by how we squeezed so many collections into one day. Loved the coin collection in KHM, and the weapons collection in Neue Hofburg was superb! And at the Imperial Treasury, surrounded by all those diamonds and rubies and sapphires and emeralds, not to mention the gold and silver collections, and priceless crowns that have actually sat on the heads of emperors... I see now why the rooms were all rather dark. People would otherwise be blinded by all that treasure! And of course the Ephesus Museum and the collection of 'ancient musical instruments'.
