Palais Lichtenau
She began penniless and became an ambassador’s wife before conquering Lord Nelson and turning herself into a European celebrity. Her »tableaux vivants« became must-see salon art, Haydn celebrated her favourite admiral musically and Fontane immortalized the lady literarily. A trio of top artists celebrates a Muse’s life in the fast lane in the appropriately stylish setting of Palais Lichtenau.
