Museum Palace
The display rooms offer a unique insight into courtly living culture from four centuries. Highlights of the tour include the Baroque rooms furnished under Count John Ernest: the so-called Elector’s Chamber, the State Bedroom of the early 18th century and the Great Cabinet of the Princess, also known as the China Cabinet, which is furnished with golden wall hangings containing numerous East Asian porcelains. A real eye-catcher is the hand-painted wall covering in the Upper Orangery as well as the blue and white imitation tiles by Georg Friedrich Christian Seekatz with unique figural and ornamental motifs in the Northern Gallery. In the southern gallery is another classicist illusionist mural by the artist Friedrich Christian Reinermann.
The mural painting by Georg Christian Seekatz in the Upper Orangery creates the impression of 2054 valuable Delft tiles. Each motif tells its own story.

People are born with the joy of collecting. The lavishly designed China Cabinet provides a magnificent setting for the collection of East Asian porcelain.

State business and dissipation only a few metres apart. The ancestors of the Luxembourg regents played a round or two here as early as the 19th century.
