Fourteen tons of gold in the form of gold leaf were used to gild the ceilings of the palace. The world&#8217;s largest Bohemian crystal chandelier, a gift from Queen Victoria, is at the center hall. The chandelier has 750 lamps and weighs 4.5 tons. Dolmabahce has the largest collection of Bohemian and Baccarat crystal chandeliers in the world, and one of the great staircases has bannisters of Baccarat crystal. Great travel attractions.<br />

It was inspired by French example. By then it was known as the <a href="http://www.dankuna.com/blog/tag/national-art-gallery" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with national art gallery">National Art Gallery</a> (Dutch: Nationale Kunst-Gallerij). In 1808 the museum moved to Amsterdam on the orders of king Louis Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon Bonaparte. The paintings owned by that city, such as The Night Watch by Rembrandt, became part of the collection. Amsterdam has lots of travel attractions for all interests.<br />
