Cool shapes and textures
A three museum day. First the Jewish museum. The architecture more impressive than the exhibits. Not enough meat in the exhibits but filled with young people and not all shooting sefies. Spaces impressive if not confusing. Never quite sure where you were or where you were going. Still grand from the outside and in.
Next the Berlin modern. Again the building more impressive that what it held except for a installation of an artists childhood home. Full scale horizontally and vertically but only one meter deep! Even the interior squashed.
People are a lot thinner in Germany
Finally a small museum dedicated to Katherine Kolwitz. Just the right size to see in an hour. Great work, very depressing. Lovely dinner outside across the street then a calm stroll down Kurfürstendamm . Teeming with people shopping and cafes. The weather is perfect and everyone outside to enjoy it. BTW, found a great app for the subway. All you do is put in your stop and where you want to go and it plots out your route. Both Uwe and I were thwarted by the tiny print on the maps and the complexity of the official maps. Old eyes and minds! This takes care of it all.
back to my bandb to rest my feet.
outside the Jewish museum. Look at that gorgeous sky. 72 degrees! Eat your heart out Boston .
