Lews Castle

I got an unexpected invitation today to have a quick tour of the new museum and residences being constructed in the "castle" adjacent to the campus. It's not really a castle, just a fancy house with pretensions, but it certainly has an interesting history. The museum is not ready for exhibits yet, but already it looks impressive. The renovations in the rest of the house are intended to produce several high-quality visitor residences, and the workmanship is superb. This is the ceiling of the main hallway. What you see is all painted plasterwork, with the gold stars hand-painted. Lots of opportunities for future blips. (I will post some other images on Picasa when I can)
