Stadtschloss Fulda — Attraction in Fulda

I was able to use my student discount to visit the Stadtschloss Fulda, and to be fair, the ticket prices weren't that high. However, navigating the palace was quite challenging as there was no clear guidance, and we ended up getting lost on the upper floors. When we asked about leaving our coats, we were only directed to lockers that required coins. The map we were given at the entrance was very confusing, and since the reception staff only spoke German, we got lost multiple times and didn't even realize we hadn't seen the main part of the palace! We only stumbled upon the main museum area by chance when we opened a random door.

Lovely palace. Well-preserved. I'm basing my review not on the beauty of the palace but on the functionality as a museum. Since the building houses city hall and office workers, you have to weave through some office space to see certain sites. There are no descriptions of the rooms or the very few items in the rooms. Not in English. Not in German. None. So I just wander about with a map in my hand to see pretty rooms. Otherwise I really learn nothing. They need to get a real museum curator in there to address the best way to turn a pretty palace into a...
