About this audio guide
This guide to the Palais Brühl-Marcolini in Dresden goes back to June 1813, when Napoleon was living in the palace mid-war and Austria's foreign minister, Prince Metternich, came to see him with a list of demands. It asks what really happened when the two men sat down alone, and why the most famous version of that day comes from only one of them. Best heard outside the main portal, by the sandstone lions.
