>One of the most famous pieces in the palace is the ceiling and the central chandelier in the Mirror Room. This magnificent construction is adorned with wing cases from over a million Thai jewel beetles. This amazing feat of art manifests the natural light with a remarkable force. Jan Fabre and his team of 29 artists spent three months completing this painstaking task. Another notable sight is the Empire Room, which contains 11 golden pots filled with earth and flowers from each of the 11 Belgian provinces.<
