OH, MY EFFING GOOOOD, can that be true?   How much do the Danes need to bleed for these idiots? captions: kronrpinsens palace at Amalienborg was so worn out after a half million have visited - the inside of the palace will be renovated againKilde: http://ekstrabladet.dk/fl...1389096.ece#ixzz0wRsPZXkdFirst, Frederik VIII 's Palace at Amalienborg reconditioned for 160 million dollars. So the public was allowed to look exercise within, and now must turn spent money on repairing the damage caused by the large number of visitors has brought.
- There are some floors and walls to be set in order, after this one half million people have been inside, "says press officer at the Palaces and Properties Agency , Jacob Holst Andersen.
In total, 478,624 people have paid 40 dollars to look around in the period from 27th February 8th August this year when Frederik VIII 's Palace at Amalienborg Palace has been open to the public.
The surplus will be used again to give the Danes the opportunity to get inside the culture of historic buildings which otherwise have limited access.
- We have several projects in binoculars . An example could be the Hermitage Palace , another could be Flora Danica - room at Christiansborg. But there is not decided anything yet , "says Jacob Holst Andersen.
What is the ultimate profit from displaying Frederik VIII 's Palace is not yet made up , but the Palaces and Properties Agency expects it will be around six million dollars after abrasion damage to the palace have been rectified.http://ekstrabladet.dk/fl...gelige/article1389096.ece40 dollars for danes to look at what their tax money paid for? that sounds like a rip off! how much is the entrance to buckingham palace? It was not 40 dollars, but 40 Kroner (ca. 5,30 Euro/6,80 Dollar), this is not that much for visiting a historic palace (which it is after all!) The quoted article from extrabladet said that the "damage" will be payed with part of the entrance fees. I think there might be some kind of damage on the floors, maybe they have to polish them, re-paint some of the doors or a wall or so.

They should just leave it, Yrma would feel much more at home with a few threadbare carpets, and scuff marks on the walls, just like home on Morris Avenue...  lupina

I don't understand this at all. Don't they estimate and build yearly maintenance costs into the admission fee for historical buildings that are open to the public? Or am I just trying way too hard to find some kind of intelligence within the DRF establishment? If the answer is the latter, please let me know and I'll stop wasting my time and energy...

That rat trap of a palace renovation could only be improved by the further renovations by the Great Unwashed. Kudos to them! That place looks like a bad movie set.

I love to see what their private apartments look like, but alas won't happen.

Personally I can imagine quite a lot of furniture for $ 6 millions. So all in all that wasn't too bad I think.
