Tue, 24 Jul 2007 day 18: stockholm, moderna and east-asia museum (0 comments)
in the morning we left with hanna, ana-clara, and alice for the zoo in skansen, stockholm. but as soon as we got to the bus station, ana-clara suddenly refused to go there and was crying. so zombiequeen and me went to town alone. but since the weather was not that good for a visit to the zoo, and we said to hanna, that we will retry tomorrow again to go there, we went to the "moderna", a museum about modern art.
on the flyer it says something about artwork by picasso, matisse, dali, and other famous artists. but the part of the exhibition about modern art was somehow beyond the comprehension of our sense of art. so we quickly tried to get to the part in the museum where they were showing all those artists named above. but for most of the artists, there was only one painting/picture shown.
pretty disappointing, this was definitely not worth the 80SEK (about 8EUR) per person. so we tried the east-asia museum, that is located on the same island, amongst many other museums. the east-asia exhibition was very interesting, and our frustration about the first museum soon disappeared. one main part of the east-asia exhibition is about a photographer that went to a very famous chinese garden and took loads of pictures there.
in the 90s another artist tried to find exactly the same places these pictures were taken, trying to preserve the same angle and point of view. thus one could see the changes done to the garden, the landscape, and the vegetation at this location. funny experiment.
afterwards we took another walk through the center of stockholm. but since it started to rain (once more), we decided to go home. as the both of us were very tired (i think we are pretty exhausted now after two and a half week of travelling), we relaxed at the house of hanna.
