[Сима]

What an interesting turn of topics! I have long been after a visit to Maritime Museum in Barcelona in 1992 (?) Or in 1993 realized that not leave any great maritime power, do not visit the Maritime Museum.
I saw in Istanbul, Venice, Lisbon. There is, of course, is full of wonderful patterns and pictures. and portraits (admirals and pirates different). In the Catholic countries of the Mediterranean - funny votive picture with a dedication to various saints (usually St. Nicholas), saving from destruction and death on the water. It was mass production. But most importantly, in my opinion, in such museums - they are the real royal court for ceremonies and recreation, are always in excellent condition, with a magnificent gilt carvings, etc. In Istanbul, for example, wonderful Sultan caiques Rococo. Somewhere off on the figure museum in Lisbon - find here let down. Recovers, threw. Look!
