SO. i have been going around the city with francesca to certain sites of interest; it's one of her class assignments. we went to the round tower and i am SO glad we agreed to check out the interior of the church...it is exquisitely decorated - tons and TONS of gold trim, an incredibly grandiose pulpit situated well above the pews and not one but TWO enormous pipe organs and, front and center, a glorious portrayal of Christ and his angels, featuring giant "rays of light" coming out behind them. i knelt before it in awe, just trying to absorb the delicious gawdiness of it all. certainly it has been refurbished, polished etc but i could tell by the marble hinges carved directly into the immovably heavy marble gate into the altar that this church has been around for awhile. however, upon close inspection, it was evident that one of the pipe organs was probably circa the past couple decades. it appeared to be made of marble but was in fact wood...painted to look like marble. haha.
next on my agenda...the museum erotica. chastity belts and royal danish dildo, here i come!
