From Paris to The Netherlands

( pics from the official site of pergamon , since I didn't want to take any pics in such an amazing museum :) ) I went there with Miki,a nice Japanese girl I’ve met on the way, at 9h30 we passed by Beliner Dom, finding a nice coffee nearby Pergamon,a boutique aside presents nice art nouveau designate that moment , Miki and I behaved,apprx, as some girls at age 12, WOWing right in front of closed shop window, clapping … Back to the museum, Pergamon is famous for its Ishtar gate from Babylon, for its incredibly Greek sculptures( it’s strange that I do not like portrait, but very much into sculptures).Never take any pic in an arty museum is my rule, they’re too beautiful to be taken in pics,I was always feeling that taking the pic of a nice sculpture is taking their soul out, sounds very silly, I do know, but they’re just too precious to be in my pics… Greek columns was one of the major topic in pergamon,I felt like flying to Turkey right away in the Great Alter,the temple , the traces , the history behind , the legends, my bad habit is always trying to make a story from the mosaic,at one moment , I tried to connect all the lengends by my own , ignoring what the audio was telling, I became the director of their lives and a new story on,I felt satisfied living in it, it’s so obvious in Pergamon, in front of one Roman sculpture,I had an imagination of my life with this’person’, Miki had a pic of ‘ him’ and yes I would need to ask her to send me thoughJ

I think I was rather lucky that when we were in pergamon, there’s an Islamic exhibition on, from Iran-Iraq-Afghanistan-Turkey, in addition a few collection from Northern Africa, the handmade texile is of course a topic forever in Islamic culture, the women portrait is the first time I’ve seen be put on main menu,I tried very hard to find the strech of Silk Road, can’t get any,was pretty much disappointing and on the top of that , figuring out what the hell the Indian art is presenting a portion of this Islamic tour ???
