Next we drove to a palace that is now an art museum at the lower end of the park. One floor in the art museum has works from the Old Masters, including many Rembrandts, so we had one hour (in the pouring rain) to go see them. We could have spent hours there.
The museum is in the Schloss Wilhelmshöhe. Interestingly, there was a Playmobil exhibit alongside the glorious artwork, often depicting what was in a painting. That was fun to see.
I loved that so many of the works were religious. It’s interesting to see the clothing of the time period of the artist in Biblical scenes. We saw some Ruebens, Doerer, Rembrandt, Van Dyk and more. The museum also had things from the Roman Period we breezed through.
Here’s how some of the scenes from the artwork was depicted in the Playmobil figures:
Beautiful faces:
LOVE this face:
Here’s a piece by Albrecht Duerer:
We had to race through the other floors of the museum where Roman treasures were.
When we came out, the rain had passed and it was like entering a garden of Eden.
