This was a great video, where buildings, paintings, sculptures is something that can be fascinating to look at while walking the museum, major complexes, cities and the like makes for great wishes on my trip-list, would love to see more of these; though paintings still is my favorites :)
I am currently reading a light novel revolved around "Versailles Continent". I suppose the author got the idea from the real one. The protagonist establishes a kingdom from scratch that is a capital of art and culture. He is a sculptor and his works are all around the kingdom and he would also build grand buildings like a Cathedral, Library, Mage Tower (the novel is fantasy), etc. I am saying this because of your last question wether it is ethical to heap large sums of money for one's own vanity. In the novel, the residents have greater appreciation of art because of their King's work which results to high loyalty and work efficiency. As for me, I think it is great to have art around me but of course only when my daily needs are achieved. Whoops this turned out so long, im sorry. I just loved the novel and I found out Versailles is a real place. Thank you for your work! Keep it up :)
If anyone is interested, the novel is The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor. Genre is adventure, action, comedy, fantasy. It's about a virtual game called Royal Road where the protagonist earns money as he is poor and needs to raise his sister. You can search it on google and download it for ibooks :) I haven't finished it yet but i'll give it a 8.6/10 rating
agreed. You can't possibly capture how large these gardens are in photos. If you follow Louis plan for touring the garden it would take six hours. SIX HOURS! (he included some time for reflexion, but still, it's a large garden)
I agree... but I bet you've heard of Louis XIV, but have never heard (or at least rarely heard) of Le Nortre. Clearly we care something for the money guy this time.

New video out on Versailles. What can a garden teach us about Culture?
