Not big but great! Brief and accurately to the point. Uncommon combinations of objects, e.g. porcelaine, a Gutenberg bible, and Bauhaus objects under the Audi claim ‘Vorsprung durch Technik” (translated politely as ‘progress through technology’) – it’s really worth checking out. Only the shop at the end pays a bit too much tribute to allegedly German icons. But of course it might be that I just don’t really understand British humour.
A really stunning show!
Private View of Rembrandt’s Late Works (courtesy of Frieze) in one of my favorite museums, London’s National Gallery. I’ve always loved his fat old men with couperosic noses, and what a compilation this is! Plan enough time to enjoy the details. Read more →

There is hope! Bundesdesignpreis für das Wegeleitsystem im Albertinum in Dresden.
Natürlich kenne ich das Brücke-Museum, aber diese Auswahl besticht. Die Holzschnitte, köstlich, Karikaturen und Postkarten, wie Vorläufer von Comics. Umfassende Fehmarn-Werksammlung, interessant. Spannend Kirchners Farbexperimente, die Zusammenschau offenbar inspiriert vom Gerckenschen Werkverzeichnis von 2013. Read more →

Under pressure to cut expenditures, the cultural foundation that is in charge of preserving, researching and developing the UNESCO World Heritage site including all its buildings, gardens and art collections decided to shorten its opening hours. But measures such as these need to be carefully balanced, especially when other options include increasing other revenues. Read some background (in German) on the MZ’s website, and more on the garden kingdom here.
