Palace Het Loo...

I was happy when an AWC member put together a trip to Palace Het Loo (The Woods Palace) in Apeldoorn to see a Grace Kelly special exhibit. It was a fascinating look at a beautiful woman and included many of her gowns from her days in Hollywood and as a princess in Monaco (unfortunately, photography was prohibited).

Afterwards, we wandered through the palace itself. Built in 1686, it was a residence of the House of Orange until the death of Queen Wilhelmina in 1962.

It became a museum in 1984 showcasing the original furniture and artwork.

Queen Wilhelmina’s playroom was especially charming.
