Gallery Hopping

Since the boys have gone back to school, I have decided to visit more art galleries 

Here are the galleries I have been to in the past 6 weeks. I let the mums from school know that I am going, and anyone is welcome to join me. 

Rembrandt:- Quest of a Genius 

I went to this one with Ann from school. The audio guide for this exhibition was brilliant! 

  

East German Museum 

The GDR ceased to exist 17 years ago.This museum shows everyday life in the GDR. It is an interactive museum, and was really interesting. Cotton was not widely available behind the wall, so most clothes were made from polyester. The clothes had an awful feel to them. I hate to think what it would be like to wear them every day, especially in Summer. I went to this museum with Sonia, Michelle, Jacqui and Wendy, it was a great insight to what life was like behind the wall. Note....lots of nude swimming in Summer! 

  

Art Forum The 11th ART FORUM BERLIN - showing contemporary art, fresh, energetic, full of quality - the best artists and their galleries from Berlin, Germany, Europe, the USA,Latin America, Asia and Australia. I went to this one alone.

Museum Berggruen Picasso – The Draftsman The Museum Berggruen is celebrating its tenth birthday with an exhibition of Pablo Picasso's drawings. Since the opening of the museum in 1996, this artist - who has shaped the visual concepts of the 20th century like no other - is the central focus of the presentation "Picasso and his Time" which 1.5 million visitors have already seen. None of the mums were interested in this one either. I am guessing they are not a fan of artwork after 1910.
