Holy beauty and holy mind,
The noble mind will remain free and alive,
And the selfless love for the poor brother…
It took me a little to find this museum as it was literally tucked inside the courtyard of surrounding residential buildings, it was worth the find though!
Had to walk inside of a huge courtyard
And found the random little door!
The home has been preserved exactly as it was in its original shape, part of it also is underground but you cant visit the lower floor as its mouldy
It has 4 rooms, a corridor and kitchen area
I tried exploring the bottom level first but a lady ran quickly towards me before I could go any further 😦
This was the original home which had been fixed up and renovated
This is the main entrance area where you enter in and turn left into the living room
They have displayed more than 700 items which represent his years of study, social life, personal belongings and stories of his creations etc
A really nice ornate piano which was 1 of 2 in the small home!
This was his work room all his own items are still kept here in place
Close up of his desk and a portrait
This was the living room at the back of the house leading into his work room
The kitchen with his original items
It was interesting to see how a locals lived and how their house would have looked around that time
