Interesting museum.  Apprently Wilhelm II was rather austere for an "emperor"?  Thanks for sharing!

... of course , as austere as an exile home could be

Fons, really good job on the colours.   I've never seen a Saddle chair/stool for a reading/writing desk.  Cool.  I guess that would help for an erect posteur.

Oh, I didn't realize that this was the last place he lived.  My ignorance...

I was looking at the pictures and didn't notice Fons' comment.

Thank you fellows for the comments, appreciated.
Nowadays there is limited possibilities taking pictures in museums and the like.
I could take my Df with 20/1.8g attached inside, since it was a guided tour only quickly snap some while in the room.

Yes, very effective. Colourful and detailed. Richly decorated.

Love the first one, in BW as well.

I really like the last B&W shot with the trees, very nice PP and framing

thank you John and Erik

Deliberate choice for b/w intro and outtro to the series, emphasizing the past history
