Moderne Kunst

"Moderne Kunst" means "modern art" in German!

This weekend we went on a trip to Frankfurt.  While we were there we went to an art museum called the Städel Museum.  The museum we went to was one of many museums on a long strip of museums along the Main River.  (It's called the "Mine" River, even though it is spelled "Main."  Because that's how the German's say it.)

In the museum there is a section with modern art.  When we first walked in there was a big wall of little mirrors put together to make one big mirror (kind of like a disco ball.)

 
There was some wierd stuff there.

 
Here is Kieran trying to figure out what this is...

 
Here is me trying to figure out what THIS is...


 
Some of it was pretty cool.



 
And some of it was..........well........yeah.

 
Oh.....here's what it is.......................What????

 
Kieran was wondering why they framed a big bunch of scribble scrabble.


 
Black paper.  Hmmmmm......

 
What is this?  Airplane seats or something?

 
They had really cool circle skylights.

 
Not all of the art was modern.  There was a lot of paintings by really famous artists.


 
Like I said, they had really cool circle skylights....


 
I'm glad we came the the museum early, because otherwise, we would have to wait in the line that continues well off the picture.  (Not to mention it was hailing outside...)

 
This is the Main River (remember, it's "Mine.")

 
Here is a pedestrian bridge going over the Main River.

 
Dramatic picture of trees.....

 
Dramatic picture of some house we parked next to....

 
Dramatic picture of the hail frozen on our car....

 
But before all the drama, we went to the Frankfurt Temple.

Stay tuned for more drama from Frankfurt...
