A nineteenth-century chandelier from the ballroom of the former Hotel Majestic in Paris hangs in the main gallery. The prodigious lamp presided over a succession of military and diplomatic administrations based in the hotel building and, in 1973, witnessed the Paris Peace Accords, which ended conflict in Vietnam.
