Wilhelmshöhe

The palace in Wilhelmshöhe, near Kassel, with a sumptuously appointed interior, now houses the State Art Collections and the Schlossmuseum. The State Art Collections include the fine Gallery of Old Masters, the nucleus of which was a collection assembled by Landgrave William VIII (many works by Dutch painters, including 17 Rembrandts and 11 van Dycks; Italian and Spanish paintings), a Print Cabinet, and collections of classical and prehistoric antiquities. The Schlossmuseum displays furniture, glass and ceramics.
