Thank you--forgot that the ribbon colors changed until seeing this!  Is the exhibit at Vaduz Castle?

No, it's at the Liechtenstein National Museum. As far as I know, the castle is not open to the public.

I had the good fortune to visit the castle many years ago and as you can imagine there is some pretty amazing kit  and an amazing armoury. The museum is well worth a visit. Although if you want a nice evening out cross the border into Austria, Vaduz nightlife is  pretty non-existent. Very nice images Carol.

Beautiful images Carol.

When did the ribbon change?

[Carol I]

Thank you for your words. There was no information in the museum about the change in ribbon. Only that the order was established on 22 July 1937.

Aha! Found the Statutes of the Order - https://www.gesetze.li/lilexprod/lgsystpage2.jsp?formname=showlaw&lgblid=1937012000&gueltigdate=06082016

The ribbon design changed in 1967.

I think there is on day a year when the Princely family opens the Castle to the citizens. I have family in Liechtenstein and they go out for the evening - in Feldkirch (Austria) just as you say.
