Mural Room within Huis Ten Bosch Palace
This mural is the largest in Japan. It was painted by Rob Scholte, a Dutch artist, and an additional 40 painters from around the world. The mural took 4 years to complete. The mural, which covers all 4 walls from floor to cupola (height 19m, diameter 11m), depicts visions of a boy's nightmare. In the nightmare the boy dreams of the madness of war and what it can do to our future.
Baroque-Style Garden
The garden is based on a plan which was drawn up by the 18th Century French garden designer Daniel Marot for the royal palace, but these gardens were never completed in Holland. The gardens feature statues of ancient Greek gods.

Only two things! I didn't know that chocolate springles is/was a Dutch product, and as in described in the pictures Von Siebold was not a Dutchmen but a German working for the Dutch. Otherwise his name would have been 'Van Siebolt'. But nevertheless this is amazing! And 152 hectare??
