Okay, so it was a big misunderstanding; there I was, your typical tourist, having a great time in the Hungarian National Cultural Museum on my way to see an exhibit on Ghengis Khan and the Mongol invasion, when I passed an exhibit of very nice Christian artifacts (some intentional irony there...) and thought I'd take a couple of pictures. A topstone of a crypt, a wall hanging of Christ crucified and a choir box (now THAT's a choir box!); really great stuff to have in my picture collection, right? NOOOOO! The delightful woman in charge of this particular room was only too ready to insist that I didn't have a picture taking BADGE...ooops! Needless to say, I didn't take any more pictures, but it did make for an interesting dance between the two of us, each in our own languages...she won.
