There are also paintings by Raphael, Titian, Bellini, Caravaggio, and Vermeer, plus portraits by Velazquez.

The Opera building was built in 1869 and is well-known for its Early French Renaissance style, while its interior highlight includes a large ladder leading to the first floor, Schwind Foyer (named by famous opera scene painting), and a luxurious tea drinking room with its stunningliters.
