Objects such as mirrors in the hall reflect the Baroque style. (Image from Oriental IC)
Second floor: Rococo style salon, also known as "Beijing Hall", wallpaper is Chinese style. It is generally not used in normal times, and is only used in special occasions. For example, celebrate the wedding of Goethe's sister Cornelilla. The North Hall displays portraits of Goethe's maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother. The concert hall can see the vertical string pianos of that time. (Image from Oriental IC)
Third floor: Louis XVI-style corridor, the exquisite astronomical clock is still moving. It correctly shows the year, month, day or even the week, and the cute bear on it is not just decoration, because the bear's posture, once tilted, is to tell people that they need to be clockwork. In the room where Goethe was born, you can see the newspaper announcing Goethe's birth. The mother's room exhibits portraits of her parents and a portrait of Goethe himself. There are also sewing boxes with needles and threads, lanterns carried by handmaidens when going out at night, and so on. The painting hall can see works by Frankfurt painters collected by Goethe's father. (Image from Oriental IC)
