Nymphenburg: Let's Go Inside!

The downstairs of the main floor has been converted to a ticket, souvenir, informational area. You go up the stairs and you enter this:
Turning to your left, you quickly realize it is only going to get better. The ballroom:
Looking back you realize the first room is just the bottom of the ballroom balcony:
 Here is a better look at the top:
A painting in the ballroom:
And the ceiling. Cool, no?
All of the areas above the doors were really cool. I made you a collage. Make sure you look really close at the picture in the bottom left.

Yep, that is a goat playing a horn. It makes me giggle every time.
Ok. We'll leave the ballroom now. Here is a painting of Therese. She is the daughter of the King of Poland. She married Max II.
 Here are more rooms:


 This is where Ludwig, the last king of Bavaria was born. He was the crazy one who built all of the castles (including Neuschwanstein) and almost bankrupted the House of Wittelsbach and the Bavarian Government.

Sorry there aren't more pictures. It's not that I didn't take them. Flash photography wasn't allowed. Most of the windows were covered and I didn't have a tripod. Therefore, taking photos was ummm... interesting.

Hi Amanda- Thanks for fixing the spelling mistakes in my note! My German friend wrote it for me and I very badly transcribed it. I hope they don't find out! We loved our time living in Germany and very much enjoyed going back in August. Salzburg is always breathtaking!
