In this next picture the lower bridge is the Chain Bridge, Europe’s oldest iron suspension-bridge, built in 1824.
In the afternoon we visited the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. Founded in 1852, it houses a large collection of items relating to German culture and art. Here are a few of the things we saw.

A lovely example of Punto in Aria ....
A gorgeous example of delicate quilting ...
More beautiful stitching, this time on an apron ...
