Liechtenstein Treasure Chamber

The Treasure Chamber packs the princely house's portable splendour into a single dense room in central Vaduz: the ducal hat that serves as the dynasty's crown, jewelled orders and presentation swords, a clutch of Imperial Easter eggs from the Faberge workshops, and - the surprise - moon rocks, gifts from the American Apollo missions to the microstate. It sits beside the Landesmuseum, whose broader collections cover the principality's history, and together they make the compact cultural hour that Vaduz's pedestrian centre is built around.

What you actually see

• The ducal hat - the princely house's crown equivalent.
• Faberge eggs - the imperial workshop pieces in the collection.
• The moon rocks - Apollo mission gifts to the principality.
• The Landesmuseum next door - the national collection for context.

When to go

Year round and weather-proof - the natural bad-weather companion to a Vaduz stroll. Closed Mondays like most of the town's museums. Quiet outside the midday coach-tour window.

Honest expectations

It is one room, done in under an hour, and the entry price reflects a microstate's economics - the combined Landesmuseum ticket is the sensible buy. Labels are good in English. Vaduz's centre itself is small and modern; the chamber, the art museum and the castle viewpoint walk are the substance of a town visit.
