About this audio guide
This audio guide to the Primate's Palace in Bratislava starts in the summer of 1903, when renovation crews were stripping an anteroom the city had only just bought. It follows six English tapestries woven near London and the Greek legend they carry, of a young man who crossed a strait every night for love. Along the way you meet a poet who wanted to know whether that crossing was possible. Best heard standing in front of the tapestries themselves.
