Today was my last day in Munich. Tomorrow we are off to
Vienna with a stop in
Salzburg for a few hours. About the last 2 days: on Friday we visited a beautifully done modern catholic church
Jesus Kirche it had the most amazing blue ceramic glazing on the front facade in the pattern of nails
(which one would never guess from afar) and we also went to the Soccer Stadium which has an awesome curtain wall. I would not usually be excited to see a Soccer Stadium, but ever since
February I've taken up a
serious interest in the sport. On Saturday we saw two buildings done by Herzog and de Meuron, one a mall
FUNF HOFE created from existing building in which five courts were designed and used as a way to unite the center, the other a museum similar to the
MATTRESS FACTORY in Pittsburgh which depending on your taste in art that could be a
good thing or a
bad thing. And Today we spent our day at the museums of
Pinakothek, the first an older one which was bombed during WWII had a great facade because parts ruined from the war were reconstructed in a brick. The second housed modern work, they had exhibits on chairs, antiques, sculptures, paintings and an architecture hall with
AMAZING building models. The last Museum Brandhorst had a very
COLORFUL exterior and had mostly paintings full of vibrant colors from much newer artists. Till Tomorrow!
