After the stairwell visit I got to see very entertaining short movies and an art exhibition in the Künstlerhaus (“artists’ house”). I liked the view through the windows, unfortunately the huge chandelier on the road doesn’t stand out much in daylight.
The next stop was the Laves House, a building created as residence by and for the architect Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves who was once Hanover’s “Court Master Builder”. This building is now home to the Lower Saxony Association of Architects.
The last but one station was a museum for caricature and drawings in the Herrenhausen Gardens, usually simply called the Wilhelm-Busch-Museum after a famous German humorist, poet, illustrator, and painter. I only took a photo of the stairwell there but the exhibition was very engaging.
Finally we made it to the museum in the rebuilt palace of Herrenhausen Gardens. I have to say I’m not a fan of the lay-out of that place and also not of the design of the first two exhibition areas but I did like the third area with its photos and paintings of nature and of squares in Hanover. I didn’t take any photos there.
On my way home I chose the dark route along the Großer Garten (Great Garden, the most formal one of the collection of parks) and was able to admire the illuminations and reflections.
