peeky be on the look out for some of the bone relics to be covered with gold ivy-like filigree. The metal work is lovely but it's still a bone underneath it.
One of the best places for reliquaries and bones I've seen is in the Royal Palace in Madrid. There's a huge room probably 20 x 40 ft with a 12 foot high ceiling that is filled with reliquaries. I mean wall-to-wall floor to ceiling.
There are stacks and stacks of little wooden boxes with glass windows so you can see the pieces.
