Looking for Saturday night style-inspiration? Look no further than these #tourguides (!) at the @DanishRoyalPalaces! . A masquerade tour marking the 250th wedding anniversary of King Christian VII and Caroline Mathilda (on November 8th 2016). A matrimony that resulted in one of the greatest dramas in Danish royal history. The King was mentally ill and the Queen involved herself in a fatal affair with the king's doctor J.F Struensee. The doctor was publicly and violently executed and the Queen was exiled and died shortly after. . . . . #mask #18thcentury #masquerade #kongerneslapidarium #denmark #masquerade #copenhagen #🇩🇰 #history #heritage #patrimoine #patrimonio

We nearly always chat with museums' #securityguards to ask their responses to the galleries to which they're assigned! . “He is staring into my eyes, like he knows or sees the truth behind my smile. His lips leaves me in wonder... what is he saying to me? Such a mysterious man. What I see in him is my story.” - Tanisha Carrasquillo, Gallery Officer at the @gardnermuseum. . #Rembrandt van Rijn, Self-Portrait, Age 23, 1629, Oil on oak panel, collection & photo courtesy the Gardner Museum. . #museumsecurity #security #guards (at Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum)
