DAY 13 - TGIF

DAY 13 - View from temporary office

This is the view from my current office. It's on the sixth floor of an office building close to the Hauptbahnhof - the main train station in Munich. You see a very old building in the center of the picture - well, actually you see the top of it?

This is a better picture of the building called Propyläen. It is located at the Königsplatz in Munich. And here is a little history on this square:

The square was designed at the command of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria by Karl von Fischer and laid out by Leo von Klenze with the "Doric" Propylaea (Propyläen; created as memorial for the accession of Otto of Greece) and the "Ionic" Glyptothek. The "Corinthian" State Museum of Classical Art was erected by Georg Friedich Ziebland, on its back St. Boniface's Abbey is situated.

The Lenbachhaus is situated at the north-west side of the square. The area around Königsplatz is today the home to the Kunstareal, Munich's gallery and museum quarter.

I went on a field trip today to buy some yarn... Stay tuned for what I found - just one thing for Steve:
