Tomb of the last Tsar (6410)

This room is the memorial for the family of Tsar Nicholas II.
I suppose that not all the last remains of the whole family are in this room. The remains of Anastasia Nikolajevna Romanova and Aleksej have not been found.
On Suisse bank accounts there is still a large sum of money from Nicholas. But his last will states that only family in the direct line can inherit the money. That means sons, daughters and their children etc. I think the money should be given back to Russia, for example in a special heritage fund, but as it is and by law the Suisse banks can sit on that money forever.
Hard to shoot. The room is too deep for flash (and I hate flash), while the window throws in massive sidelight. This is 12mm @ f/8 (for depth and sharpness), 1/10s, ISO 1000.
