The Treasure Chamber (Schatzkammer) is a small, concentrated museum showing the principality's most precious possessions in one secured hall: the **reigning family's crowns and jewels** and their orders of chivalry, a collection of decorated eggs and luxury objects, swords of honour, and gifts of state. It also holds things you would not expect: a set of **moon rocks** given to Liechtenstein by the United States from the Apollo 11 and 17 missions, a large collection of precious stones, a group of Fabergé works, rare stamps and historic weapons — a personal mixture closer to a princely "cabinet of curiosities" than to a systematic museum. In the same building as the Postal Museum on the Städtle, with a separate ticket or one combined with the National Museum. Half an hour to an hour — after the mountains, the most entertaining museum in Vaduz for children.

For children: the Treasure Chamber is far more entertaining (crowns and moon rocks). For one very quick visit: the Kunstmuseum or the Treasury depending on taste, plus the castle from outside.
