Thursday, 11 April, 2013 – Pinakothek and Jewish Museum



So finally an update! Sorry it took so long…the sickness knocked me out for two days and then I was with a friend in Paris and we were rather busy distracting each other and eating good food.

Anyways, this is the day before I got sick. I spent the morning at the Alte Pinakothek, an art museum with a really cool staircase. 

Afterwards, I went over the Sendlinger Tor, which was rather beautiful in the rain (which this picture doesn’t show well)


After more wandering and exploring the lovely shops and atmosphere in that area, I walked over to St.-Jakobs-Platz to visit the Jewish Museum, which was mainly an exhibition on the history of Jewish life in Munich with a focus on Jewish traditions and celebrations. There were some really cool old relics, like the entire cupboard of a Holocaust survivor (donated by his wife). You can learn a lot about a person from their cupboard – there were books, badges from Dachau, posters, both related and unrelated. Lots of cool.

And then I went back to the hostel and got sick…more updating soon!
