After an early night, and a bit of a lie in I was feeling a bit better this morning.   I was torn between going to the Deutsches Museum <\/a>or having an arty day. Having somewhat OD on techy stuff, the art won out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to head to the Pinokothek Der Modern<\/a>.  There are two other Pinokothek museums in Munich; the old and the new.  The former is old masters, and the latter bridges the gap between the two.  It was only 2EUR more for a combined ticket so I went for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ended up spending most of the day in the two open museums, and the Brandhorts Collection,which was also included in the ticket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were several sub museums in Der Modern.  The first was a design museum:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it was onto an exhibition about 3d printed furniture (and other things) made from mycelium, algae and seaweed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The audio-guide for this was very cool; it’s a Pi Zero in a 3d printed case.  I think it was using bluetooth beacons to work out what you’re near (though it was a bit over sensivitve and would jump to another exhibit if you changed the orientation of the device sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it was onto (I think) the permannt collection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final part of the museum was the architecture museum.  This had an exhibition on farming; the high tech Dutch greenhouses, some rather grim stuff on cattle farming, and various other things.  It was very well presented and interesting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it was onto Museum Brandhorst<\/a>. This was a smaller collection, but the Brandhorst’s had clearly had a lot of money.  There was a room full of Andy Warhols, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it was onto the Altes museum.  This had a very impressive collection of old masters, as well as some of the collection from the Neues museum.  By this point I was a bit arted out, but it was very impressive, and in a lovely building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all that art, I went for a wander around the Englisher Garden.  This was very pleasant; the National Trust mini backpack I’d borrowed fitted right in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it was a tram back to the station, stopping off in Lidl for some food to eat on the sleeper.  The compartment I’m in this time has 6 seats, and 6 beds, so that’s a relief.  Currently just two of us, though it’ll fill up en route according to the conductor. In an amazing coincidence my cabin-made has been to EMF and is off to a nix conference in Krakow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
