IXEA: like IKEA, but for Roman furniture

IXEA is open for business.  It's like IKEA, only at IXEA they sell exact replicas of ancient Roman furniture.  

Want to live like an emperor?  Lie back on a plush red dining couch while you check out the latest issue of Acta Diurna?  Now's your big chance.  

IXEA is run by Limburg Museum in the Netherlands.  Thanks to Irene Hahn for pointing this out. 

The catalogue is at http://www.limburgsmuseum.nl/ixea/.  Hurry now while stocks last.

Ummm... Is it bad I found several things I want?

Yet another reason I wish I lived in Europe!

Some of beds look comfy, if a trifle small.

Very cool! Did you check out the restaurant? They serve food made from Roman recipes.

Hi Renee, and welcome to the blog (I think this is the first time you've left a comment).

No! I completely missed the restaurant. Thanks for spotting it. I'm relieved to see the menu doesn't include dormice.

Looks great, certainly worth a visit. It's nice to see something good is coming from Limburg for a change...

That's a rather cheesy comment, Anneke.
