The Bavarian kings had an early appreciation of Classical Antiquity, and built a museum for their collection of ancient art. The hall was also suited very well for private functions.

Sadly, I know nothing about the subject of this picture; I believe I took it in the Antiquarium, so the odds are that it is old, very old. Fact is, I sometimes take pictures just for the love of it.
Munich Residence - Court chapel

I moved to Munich in 1981, to work in a building that is part of the former residence of the Bavarian kings (aptly named “die Residenz”). The servants’ quarters, to be sure, utterly destroyed in WW II, and later rebuilt in a modest fashion. Nevertheless, it is a bit embarrassing having to confess that I have never visited the Museum in another part of the same building, that is: never, until now.
I’ve also posted a picture of the Court Chapel, much bigger than this one, and nice without being lavish. However, being king, one would like to retreat, from time to time, to a less inhibited place, and converse with God as an equal.

If the weather doesn’t prevent me from doing so, I often spend my afternoon breaks in this garden, or court yard, just a few steps away from work. A good read and a cigar –for that I readily cancel lunching.

I can be fond of people, but not when they come in crowds, so I was glad to capture a few scenes of the Munich Christmas Fair before it was ready to rumble.
