About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of the Bavarian Kings near Füssen centres on Ludwig the Second, the castle-building king, and a rainy June evening in eighteen eighty-six on the shore of Lake Starnberg. It touches his debts, his devotion to Richard Wagner, and the doctors who judged him without meeting him. Best heard in the Hall of the Kings, near the great window facing the Alpsee.
