Moi?  Restort to theivery?  I can't say I wasn't tempted, but it is
intersting to note that the Swiss musemus are very good about letting
you get up-close-and-personal with the items.  You could litterally walk
right up to things and touch them (but you shouldn't you know!).  I got
to walk right up to the tapestries and examine them very closely, and
probably could have counted the threads had I a mind to.  Wonderful
color, even after 500 years!  Most put very little behind glass where you
couldn't move to get a better view.  Really an amazing experience!!
