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

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...

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.

thank you John and Erik

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