About this audio guide
This guide to the Stadtmuseum Düsseldorf leaves the galleries behind and walks you into the garden of the Palais Spee, to the dark water at its edge. It follows that water from the fortress town Düsseldorf once was, through the French departure of eighteen-oh-one, to the gardener Maximilian Weyhe and the shape he gave the banks. Best heard standing at the edge of the pond behind the museum.
