Great pictures, Ed

It was actually your mentioning of Rosenborg Castle in another thread that made me visit the castle earlier this year. Although I live in the same city, I'm ashamed to admit that it was my first visit

Knowing my (lack of) photographic skills I didn't bring a camera...

They definitely have a great collection. It will not be my last visit.

The interesting thing about the orders and decorations in the castle is that they were not 'collected' for the purpose of a museum display. They are the actual decorations given to the various Danish kings.
