That's pretty cool, how come they had those outside a hotel?

Was it as good a hotel as its lobby is a museum? If so, can you share it's location?

Don't know, been there before and they didn't have it back then! The display with the helmets was for operation mercury. They actually had a lot of cool stuff in the lobby! A few display cabinets with cigarette packs from all over the world, and some old motorcycles here and there. Only problem was the lighting on the (very shiny) dispay cabinets, making them hard to photograph!

Love those dragons!

Couldn't leave them there, only 2,99€ per dragon, pre painted, and a decent size! There were 6 in the series, but they only had 3 left.

next to a reaper bones model:

That looks to have put a really in treating slant on a holiday.
