David Yorkshire of Mjolnir: A Magazine for the Creative Arts has produced a video in which he takes us on a tour of the Walhalla memorial in Bavaria, Germany, and discusses the various ways in which state art can be used to support both culture and the state’s own claim to legitimacy.

Einstein is also there! hahaha
Excellent video and commentary. Two minor observations: those are no “angels” that’s the goddess of victory, Victoria -Nikē in Greek- usually represented with wings and holding a laurel wreath. There are absolutely no Christian elements in that building. The eagle represents Jupiter, the king of the gods and hence a symbol of royalty in Europe ever since.
I wholeheartedly agree art without a Prince is meaningless.
