Kosta Boda + Kalmar Castle

-
Our first stop last weekend was to a glass factory called Kosta Boda. It doubled as an exhibition space for glass artisans, so we were able to witness the glass being blown as well as the final products!







Later, we visited Kalmar Castle and learned about its history while also perusing their gallery on impressionistic art. They had both physical paintings on display as well as a videographic gallery which utilized projectors that displayed different paintings in time with classical music.



I bought a stuffed rabbit and named him Claude Monet,

More photos of the group and I during our free time! Later in the day we stumbled across a German street festival, so of course we had to check it out.

Not sure exactly what vibe they were going for but they had us absolutely gob-smacked. We were able to get really close to the front of the crowd, too! Resting up before we head to Sweden, Eli Goodwin

Both sculpture work and paintings alike were purposefully placed within the halls and along the walls for us to peruse at our leisure. One of the first paintings we walked into was The Entrance of Emperor Charles V in Antwerp by Hans Makart which dwarfed all of us at 520cm in height and 952 centimeters in length; a downright  massive piece! It felt amazing to be in the presence of so many historic artworks by famous painters like Edward Munch, Francois Lemoyne, and Caspar David Friedrich. While they didn't have my favorite Friedrich painting on display, Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog , many more of his paintings were present and I thoroughly enjoyed taking the time to appreciate each one of them. Of course, it wasn't just the oldies we were looking forward to seeing! Numerous contemporary art installatio...
