Today was a museum day. After four plays on Monday it was time for the visual arts. There is a magnificent Emile Nolde exhibition in town.

No photos to share are they were prohibited which always is the best. However there were two other shows in a second mansion plus the permanent collection. The grounds contained a little Gormley embedded in the pavement like a “baby Kornfeld”

and a giant earthwork.

Inside was huge portraits by: Jenny Saville. Heroic in scale and truly powerful not just big.

I was truly beat at 5:00 so I took an Uber back to my room. More theater tomorrow.
