On the first floor, where the Smiley flag is fluttering fierce, a 17th-century window arrangement is still intact.
The most famous yellow smiley face was designed in 1963 by Harvey Ball, an American graphic artist. The design featured a simple yellow circle with black dots for eyes and a curved smile. However, Ball never trademarked it, and the design spread widely.
