Museum Island in Berlin


                              
With five large museums all owning important collections, the sculptures on the ground around them may not get the attention they deserve.  A recently installed 'monument' gives a thoughtful contrast to the other glorious 'king on horse' sculptures.     http://www.smb.museum/en/museums-and-institutions/museumsinsel-berlin/museum-buildings-collections/kolonnadenhof/skulpturen.html

And the graffiti next to the Bode-museum is something Jules de Goncourt has said?


Translation: "Nobody in the world listens to so many stupid things as the paintings in a 
museum have to do"
