Wow! The great hall indeed. Feast your eyes, my friends. It’s quite something!

As I was resting on a bench in the great hall, trying to take in some of the 1,000,000 details, my eyes and mind kept resting on the cord from which the incredible chandeliers seemed to dangle. Of course, the cording and tassels just cover the electrical cords and chains that hold up the lights, but I swear, here in Munich, here at the Nymphenburg, I’m seeing inventive chandelier decoration that takes the art to a whole new level.

Then my eye rested on a repeating motif of a kneeling figure pouring wine (?) into a basin. Pretty, pretty.

When you leave this hall, your mind is still recovering from the splendid use of light reflecting surfaces. And I didn’t even visit on a sunny day!
