Sometimes it seemed like the rooms at the Märkisches Museum would never end - there was so much variety in the exhibits. This room was dedicated to religious artifacts collected from Berlin churches over the years. A school class was visiting on the day I was there and these three girls stayed back to marvel over the alterpiece.
I, however, marveled over this piece. I'm not sure what the story is, but it looks like that fellow in the middle is having his head stepped on by Jesus. Ouch!
PS: I've got pictures from my recent trip to Israel on Halcyon Travels. Stop by and take a look!

Looks really fantastic room.
ReplyDeleteAnd the piece of art is lovely.
Intriguing!
ReplyDeleteIf they are from round Berlin you are lucky to have them after the bombing in the war. They look to be some nice pieces there.
ReplyDeleteIt's been an incredible trip through the museum with you Hal, soooo much to see. Places like this that offer such a diverse history are always fascinating to visit, merci beaucoup.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great room, very soothing. It kind of reminds me of St. Joseph's Oratory on Mount Royal here in Montreal. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful altar piece and the three girls in the photo makes the photo special.
ReplyDeleteA real education.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful space!
ReplyDeleteWonderful ceiling!
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting piece. I love seeing those young ones showing an appreciation for that display.
ReplyDeleteI really like the round windows, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe room itself is wonderful and then there are the beautiful pieces!
ReplyDeleteAn amazing space...
ReplyDeleteThat first image reminds me very much of a church I visited in Spandau.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful space! It's nice that it's lit more brightly than a typical church so you can actually see the pieces on display.
ReplyDeleteI love it when kids are truly interested as these three girls appear to be.
