Back in the days when I thought I was getting a job, I decided it would be a good idea to use my museum card and visit all the museums that I've never seen. What better place to start than the Bode Museum. Standing tall in the entrance hall is Kaiser Friedrich III, the museum was originally named for him, but was changed in 1956 in honor of the collection's first curator, Wilhelm von Bode. I'll be taking you on a tour around the museum this week, so please come back for more!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot! I love the black and white shading. It works well in the setting.
ReplyDeleteYou found a fine perspective for this image, Halcyon, and even though I usually prefer color, I suspect that this is one in which black and white gives the statue a special focus. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHe looks strong and quite stylish.
ReplyDeleteWhat I also like is the shape of the stairs....
Looks like a very pretty and interesting museum.
