winter time is museum time! this saturday i paid my annual visit to the 'neues museum' in nuremberg (and avoided the masses that overrun the christkindlesmarket). again i was very taken by the architecture of the building which is a piece of art for itself and enjoyed the new exhibitions.
afterwards i completed my christmas shopping at an alternate christmas market at a place called 'k4', nurembergs cultural centre which owns different ballrooms that are used for readings, film festivals, concerts etc. (i used to go there a lot, when i was younger). this weekend the space was remodeled into marketplaces for homemade scarfs and cushions, organic marmelades, d.i.y. dolls, jewellery and so on. i'm happy, that nuremberg hosts an event, that supports local artists and offers an alternative to mass consumerism.
