I wasn't looking for it, but I found it
Mysteries in the Cathedral Treasury
Amid gleaming reliquaries and centuries-old treasures, you’ll repeatedly come across items in the cathedral treasury that reveal their true nature only upon closer inspection. Some pieces bear hidden symbols, while others tell of long-forgotten customs. As you walk through the exhibition, you get the impression that history is quietly unfolding here, revealing its secrets only to those who look more closely. Thus, the visit becomes a journey where the unexpected reveals itself and your own curiosity almost automatically guides the way.
The exhibition features about 40 of these finds that seem “out of place” at first glance and explains the scientific approach used to classify them. A prime example is the porcelain dragon: its origin remains a mystery—and that is precisely what makes it a symbol of the unexpected that can be found in historical collections.
