Nice article thanks for posting
I like alot of the pictures, I think I find the mirrors (in the one hall I think) interesting. Though to be honest I would be very nervous walking in those rooms I would be afraid I would walk into them. Some of the artwork is very nice and interesting.
I think that is the first palace I have seen with light wood floors, they tend to be either dark wood or some kind of marble. (well from what i can tell from pictures and videos). Though to be honest most of the ones I have seen are the British palaces. I would think those would show more wear and tear. Unless they plan to use alot of rugs which would look nice in the rooms.
Thank you everyone who does the translations of the articles. You guys do a better job then google does.
I'm sorry to hear about your economic situation.
But I can assure you that the palace is state property. Mary has no influence in the restauration what so ever.
The pictures are very nice. It is very funny with the boxes on the floor and the family being placed in the picture by a very arty photographer.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought there was an article that mentioned Mary and Frederik approving the art work that is on display. I thought I read something about the couple rejecting a few of the pieces that were initially submitted.
I dont´t remember the sources, but i´'ve read that too.
That's correct.
One of artists changed the agreed layout of his artwork, so he had to redo it. I cannot remember the artists name off hand, but perhaps someone else can?

Gatos and Antonietta
The danish government decided to spend the money.
Mary did not decide to spend the money on any restauration.
Who decides / agrees on how the Palace will look after the restoration? Since the Palace itself is a State property, is it Danish government? The Royal Palace? How is that being determined? Also, is that regarding the outside of the Palace, the inside, the surroundings, how does the restoration look?
Perhaps this question belongs to a different thread, please move, if so.

IIRC then Søren Haslund-Christensen has never been Chief of Court af M&F, "only" at QMII. It was Per Thornit hence it is his summerhouse on the painting of the worldIt was also suggested, primarily on initiative by M&F's then Chief of Court, Søren Haslund Christensen, that contemporary pieces of art were incorporated into the official part of the building.

Decisions regarding restorations, major renovations and major changes take place between the court/DRF and the state. The buildings themselves are classified at some level, so they cannot be completely altered.
In this case the palais needed a major renovation, since the last renovation took place in the early 1930's. Okay it was suggested that the palais should be returned to the style it had in the 1830's. That was approved by the state. And the DRF, or rather M&F.
It was also suggested, primarily on initiative by M&F's then Chief of Court, Per Thornit, that contemporary pieces of art were incorporated into the official part of the building.
That was concurred by M&F and accepted by the state.
In short: The state has the final word in all major alterations of the palais, inside, outside or in the garden.
M&F had fairly free hands in regards to their private apartment, but that's it.
If say, M&F should come up with the idea of painting all the ceillings in the official part of the palais grassgreen, that would no doubt be vetoed by the state.
The Palaces and Properties Agency - which is a body of the Ministry of Finance - administers the state-owned castles. Here's a link to them in English - Castles and Gardens - Palaces and Properties Agency
Examples of the results of the restauration can be found here - F8-bog_udvalgte sider.pdf.
- addition: sorry Muhler, I hadn't seen that you had already responded when I posted this.
how big are each of the palaces in square feet? i assume they're all identical in sizes. does the one being renovated have elevators? i ask weird questions don't i?
wow this a huge place i wonder what it feels to live not only in such a big place but a place with an amazing history!!!!!
Thank you! yes must be nice to have your fitness center in your home!!!!!! I would like a trainner too!In Billed Bladet #13, 2011, we are informed that an excerzise room has been opened at Amalienborg. In the basement of Christian VII's Palais to be exact.
The fully equipped room is to be used by the DRF as well as employees of the court.
- The concept of integrating excersize, a healthy lifestyle, fruit and so on into the workplace, is becoming more and more common in DK.
