Richard-Wagner-Museum in Bayreuth

You're standing at Haus Wahnfried, the villa of composer Richard Wagner here in Bayreuth. He lived here for the last decade of his life, together with his wife Cosima. Take a look at the entrance. Wagner had a motto carved into the stone there: 'Hier wo mein Wähnen Frieden fand – Wahnfried – sei dieses Haus von mir benannt.' Roughly: here, where my delusions found peace, let this house be named Wahnfried. Wahn means delusion or madness, Friede means peace. Back then, the locals found it rather funny.
