I don't know about you but when I see pictures of such classical buildings, I feel very sad. Sad that I can't really appricate the beauty of such buildings. You know, I was bornt into a working class family and I had to work in oorder to survive. To me, it is just another building with tons of nice structures and so on sticking out from it. Basically it used to be some residence of some nobility or someone important, then it became some government office and finally it is now a place to learn about art and shit. How the mighty has fallen. It now acts as a venue for exhibitions, displays and performances and is supposed to be a hotbed of creativity. Visual arts, film, music, learning and even fashion are all in the works. What is amazing is that in the winter, the central courtyard becomes an open air ice rink. Oh, you can even host wedding ceremonies there as well.
