Treasure!

 Matt wanted to skip the treasure rooms, but I'm glad we paid extra to see it.  Here's a crown.  Poor girl must have had such a headache!
 Beautiful drinking vessel inlaid with gems and pearls.  (We were AMAZED at how dusty everything was--it all needed a serious cleaning!  Obviously the cases weren't air tight!)
 Loved the color of this piece.  It was pretty small, but still had some extremely intricate carving on it.
 This was a large piece.  The kids were getting very antsy, but we played I-spy by this piece for a while.  There was so much to see in the carving.
Here was a beautiful belt dripping with pearls and other gems.  If we ever come back I would love to go to the museum to see more "treasures!"  I recommend paying the extra 10 yuan to see all the fun artifacts--esp. if you don't have kids :)
