Audience Room:
Here, where formal meetings took place, a grand paint-
ing shows the king as a Roman emperor firmly in command (with his two
sons prominent for extra political stability). This family is flanked by Christi-
an IV (on the left) and Frederik III (on the right). Christian's military victories
line the walls, and the four great continents—Europe, North America, Asia,
and Africa—circle the false cupola (notice it's just an attic). Look for the odd
trapdoor in one corner with a plush chair on it. This was where they could
majestically lower the king to the exit.
