Pulpit



Walkway to second level

Lots of restoration work going on






Lost & Found

Cistern, Istanbul



Have your picture taken as a Sultan

Think of a palace with water

And fish

Upside down head of Medusa


You can have a coffee there too - if you like sitting in the cold, damp air

A real old-time antique museum with a yard stacked with bits and peices

They had pictures of treasures lost to overseas museums - here the Pergamum Altar taken to the Berlin Museum
