The
graphic arts section
has some fine art-nouveau posters, and the
gold and
jewellery exhibit
contains some real curiosities - amid the Bohemian garnet
brooches, 14th-century chalices, diamond-studded monstrances and art- nouveau sil-
verware you will find a Chinese rhino-horn vase in a silver mount, a delicate nautilus
shell engraved with battle scenes, and a silver watchcase in the shape of a skull.
