Feedback from one of our participants – Guided Highlight Tour in honour of International Museum Day

May 26, 2022

Some great feedback from one of our participants who joined us for our Guided Highlight Tour in honour of International Museum Day. Thank you.

Here is what Simone Kanter wishes to tell us:

‘’On the 18th of May, International Museum Day was held. Palazzo Falson joined in the celebrations by organizing a specially designed tour, commemorating the life of the last inhabitants of the house, Captain Olof Gollcher and his wife Nella.

Entering the courtyard of Palazzo Falson is like entering another world. On this early summer morning, it was filled with sunshine which immersed the historic sandstone building in a magical warm light. The recently refurbished water fountain infused the atmosphere with the calming sound of a constant water flow. I sat down on a stone bench in a shady corner, took a deep breath and could have stayed there forever, losing myself in imagination about times long gone.

Little did I know that those images were about to be turned into a tangible experience. The tour commenced and the group of participants was taken on a fascinating time travel. The three interns, currently furthering their studies at Palazzo Falson, were guiding us through the house. They explained each room of the museum in detail, highlighting features, which otherwise would have been hidden from the eye. Underlining these intimate insights were the presentations of the team of volunteers. Their painstaking research about various topics concerning the house and the life of Olof and Nella Gollcher enriched the tour to such an extent, that I literally expected the Gollchers to peep around the corner any second to greet their guests themselves.

I have visited Palazzo Falson many times, there is always something new to discover. Nonetheless, this tour was special. Through the love and dedication of the staff, Palazzo Falson felt as alive as it must have been during the time the Gollchers inhabited it. Living history at its best!’’
