A castle as a stage for strong biographies

The Schlossmuseum Braunschweig opens its reconstructed rooms such as the throne room, audience room, and music room, offering a glimpse into a time when representation, power, and culture were closely intertwined. This is exactly where the tour begins: it tells the stories of women like Philippine Charlotte or Augusta of Great Britain, who provided impulses at the court instead of just standing by. The atmosphere is calm, focused, and surprisingly approachable. ([braunschweig.de](https://www.braunschweig.de/kultur/museen/schlossmuseum/index.php))
