the medieval department was closed, but I took photos of the medieval items on display besides the entrance to the department

Finally I managed to upload all photos taken at the 'MKG - Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe' (http://www.mkg-hamburg.de/ - museum for art and business).

...at this picture you can see one piece of the medieval collection - unfortunately it was only possible to take pictures of two displays at the entrance of the medieval department because the room containing the medieval exhibition was closed.
I think I will point out some interesting collections on display in this museum during the next days :)
...btw. pictures taken at two other museums near Hamburg will follow soon - I think I'll manage to upload the pics taken at the Textilmuseum in Neumünster tomorrow...
Finally my photos taken at the Kingdom Universtiy near Hamburg are online now:

Gunnhild and Volker, members of the shire Aventiure, tried their best to make my stay as comfortable & interesting as possible and we also managed to visit three museums :)
Kingdom University was very interesting and I think my class was a success because it was a lot of fun – hopefully the class will result in many new Klosterstich projects and I am very looking forward to see the results 
Furthermore I am very happy to tell that the charter of the Dragon’s Needle Embroidery Guild was signed by Their Majesties Judith and Gerhardt and King Gerhardt sealed the charter with the front gem of the crown of Drachenwald
The second Guild Meeting was very interesting – Many thanks to Gunnhild, Eleanora, Katherina and Rakonczay for attending the Guild Meeting and I also want to thank the other ladies who attended the Guild Meeting but are no members by now. Just a short summary for everyone who is interested: We discussed the possibility of the Guild participating in the ‘Coronation Cloak for Frankmark’ project but we think that as long as no details are known a further discussion is more or less senseless. We had a great idea for a new challenge concerning a new wall decoration for events – you will get to know more as soon as I worked out thedetails
To bad that I only managed to visit two classes and missed the class of lady Himiltrude – hopefully I will be able to visit the next University event and to attend more classes.
The Pelican ceremony was very interesting – btw: Congratulations to the new Pelican Master Robert of Canterbury!
The most funny part of the event, besides my class, was the dancing after the feast (Master Giano and the kitchen crew did a great job!) – Queen Judiths 15th century dances made me really breathless
Many thanks to everyone who made this event possible!

Today I added the last sentence at the Guild Charter:
"In order that this charter remain valid and unshaken for all ages, We, Judith and Gerhard, King and Queen of Drachenwald, have ordered the present document to be written and to be sealed with the impress of Our seal on the 14th day of November, A.S. XLIV.
King Queen"

...and another very interesting addition for my bookshelf: ...a very nice addition for my small costume book collection :) like Itaa a Firenze 1540-1580: Lo Stile Di Eleonora Di Toledo E La Sua Influenza
