The fireplace and marble surround are real. Everything else, including above the fireplace, is just paint

I've seen this promoted as the UK's Sistine Chapel, which is rather silly. The Sistine Chapel is a small room crammed full of people all telling each other not to take photos.
Nothing at all the same. -

Painted Hall, Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich, London.
I have never shared this with anyone. I was just going to post one photo but I couldn't decide which one so a thread.
From their website (https://ornc.org/explore-whats-here/painted-hall/)
:"Designed in the early 18th century by Sir James Thornhill, the Painted Hall features more than 3,700 square metres of Baroque walls and ceilings. These surfaces are covered in striking images depicting 200 figures including kings, queens and mythological creatures.
"It was originally intended as an eating space for the Greenwich Pensioners* who lived at the Royal Hospital, as it was called then, but it soon became a tourist attraction and was used for dining only on special occasions."
*Pensioners were navy veterans who could no longer work, and the government was responsible for their upkeep

Recognisable from many films, the cleverest thing about The Painted Hall in Greenwich is the walls painted to look like carved stone.
