Museums Around the World (in Germany)

This is a museum report sent by Lili, a student who is studying in Germany.  Thank you for sharing this with us Lili.

 I‘m doing my museum report about Schloss Linderhof. My Great-Aunt and Great-Uncle took us there and we took a tour.

The castle is in Bavaria, Germany and we looked into every room there. It is not a very big castle but it was the king’s favourite castle. His name was King Ludwig and he loved other kings like French ones, and other places. He never really got to go to other places. The only place he ever went to was France. He wasn’t allowed to travel so he just built different places to bring them to him, like a Moroccan Tearoom, a Grotto, and a small version of Versailles Castle. His bedroom was amazing with a giant chandelier and a giant bed. In those days people weren’t very tall but Ludwig was a giant at 6 foot 4 inches like my Dad. I also liked the small purple room and the small silver waiting room. Every room had gold except for the silver room, which was for the servants to wait in. There was an amazing mirror room, where I could see 100 of myself if you looked into a certain mirror.



The Grotto



Then, we went to see the gardens on our way to the Grotto. The Grotto was amazing and Ludwig liked to get rowed around in the water by his servants.  He loved Wagner Operas and had live performances just for himself in the Grotto with singers, a choir and musicians. It was a really fun day!
