Altes National museum
At one moment, I standed in front of Nefertiti portray wondering what makes her such a lengend in Egyptian art? Her beauty?( the first phase coming out of the audio is ‘ Nefertiti is probably not the most beautiful woman in Berlin ’); Her taking over the right as pharaoh? Her being the wife of Great Royal? … I tried to understand her eye contact even though there’s only one left in the portray, tried to understand her slight smile, tried to understand what she’s thinking or trying to send as messages to us, centuries later some very regular people admiring her in the un-understandable way… no answer coming out, I told Miki , I’m not good enough in art to understand this masterpiece J We went roughly through the Egyptians and looking into the beaux-arts, I very much ‘hate’ portrays and that’s probably the reason I didn’t really like to stay in this 2nd floor even though at 20h00 I did went back to Altes museum just for Nefertiti , to ‘appreciate’ her once more,21h00 , we headed to National Gallery , where they mentioned Renoir and Monet, I expected to wash my busy mind from the great work of Monet , which turned out to be extremely disappointing anyway. I have to admit I don’t like very much Flemish paintings, I felt German painters are too heavy , the color implemented in oil paintings are dark , silent , and a lot of times , they’re just sad and crucial. When entered the show room of Monet , Manet and Renoir , I wanted to leave right away, believe me , even I’m not such an arty person , the works they presented right in there can’t tell Monet, you just don’t feel impressived at all, just felt why they present something which ruins a lot of nice imagniation of Monet as one of my fave artists in the entire century ? I’ve been visiting tons of exhibitions of Monet in Paris , the sunrise , the barcelona , any of them you could just call it a work , an art , and there in Altes, I called them they finished their tasks to present some Monet’s and just to attract some impressionism fans come in, in Berlin , that night , I missed paris , musee d’orsay , I need to be there asap …
Bode museum was closed , I missed Byzantine ; The art nouveaux museum was closed at 18h, I missed it; The berlin history museum was missed, I would definitely go back to Berlin one day , it’s just worth another trip …
