German Museums

Thanks to Teo Pelho, from Finland, for sending in these pictures, taken at the Deutsches Museum, Munich and the Gutenberg Museum, Mainz, Germany.

I have very little information about the pictures, so if you think you can "flesh out" any of the captions, please post your suggestions here. Please refer to the pictures by number.

The picures are spread over four pages: Page One, Page Two, Page Three, Page Four.
