The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

We visited this room that had all sorts of recipes of alchemical potions. Here’s Matt checking out the bookshelf.

It was a secret door that led down to the actual workshop. They discovered this during the floods in the early 2000s.

Some of these are props added, but much of it was exactly as it was abandoned hundreds of years ago.

This is the furnace with bottles that would cascade their contents to subsequent bottles.

Here are the final products.

Elixers of love, life, and gold. Generally they are made up of alcohol with some flavourings.

We saw dead people.

So many dead people.

It really seems more like a supervillian’s lair than a church.

Who thought it was a good idea to pose them carrying bones in their mouths like dogs?

Apparently this tunnel of bones is a good place to leave coins for good luck.

For people who died of the plague over 500 years ago, they are surprisingly pretty.

This cup will not hold water.

Did we mention there were a lot of bones?

If your crown of bones features 3 skulls as decorations, it is obviously much too big to fit on your head.

This one has a funny hairdo and a bird trying to peck out his already missing eye.

Kids must have really liked to set up play houses because there were some really elaborate sets.

Then there was stuff like this Krampus toy.

Not sure why the teddy bear has a muzzle. It wouldn’t hurt anybody. It’s bear abuse!

These are men from Mars. At least that was their label, but they are wearing skirts. So maybe they are women from Mars.

This is an even more creepy baby from Earth.

They had a special exhibit on Barbie because the original concept came from a Czech cartoon.

Here’s Matt confused by the quantity of Barbies.

Although most of these aren’t Barbie she still managed to make her way into Star Trek. Didn’t see a Star Wars Barbie.

The inside of the castle was big and boring.

This is a replica of the crown. The real one looks just as fake, but you weren’t allowed to take pictures of it.

This is the royal orb. Because you need an orb to be royal.

The ceilings were covered in crests of different families.

This one is a bit fishy.

The next room took an unexpectedly morbid turn.

I don’t remember the guidebook saying anything about pirates. But I really can’t remember what this was about.

Other than dead people. I know it involved dead people.
