Germany history museum was filled with much much much, my mind has an overload!!!
as always i love to capture, reflect on images, paintings, patterns, fonts, anything which stands out and create visual memories. Here are some pics of devotional paintings, Old bibles, objects of devotion from the medieval period, ancient globes, posters, propaganda posters and much more...

something which appealed to women through out Europe.

Stunning Polyhedral sundial with seven individual sundials
Details view of painting " The essai master and his wife
I especially love this painting as it illustrated the importance of crafted objects
indicating status and profession 1538.
Paintings with an opulence of fabric and adornment, super interesting seeing this detail, as i walked through this exhibition i thought about how my background which is one of not much excess
and over indulgence in opulence is in stark contrast.
