Große Kunstschätze. Besonders die Kaiser- und Bischofsgewänder.

War nur, um das byzantinische Geschenk (u. a. das Gunthertuch) anzusehen, aber überraschend informativer und kreativer Aufbau des Museums, insbesondere die laufende Sonderausstellung über Otto von Bamberg. Ermäßigung für Studierende möglich. Kreditkartenzahlung leider nicht möglich, ist aber kein Grund für einen Sternabzug. Insgesamt empfehlenswert, um diese versteckte Ausstellung zu besuchen.
