…a little 7th to 9th century doll tunic…

2019/12/28

Have you ever wondered what kids played with centuries ago? Pictures of toys from the very last centuries are available in quite an abundance but they get more and more rare the further you go back in time. Therefore you might very well imagine my great joy when I found this lovely little doll tunic from the 7th to 9th century on display at the Bode Museum.

Interesting Links – a great extant 12th century dress inspiration :D

2017/04/26

I am tremendously excited! I was just browsing the internet and looking at pictures of 12th century artwork as I run into a lovely detail photo of a 12th century female statue. And as I followed the picture to its source, I discovered a complete photo album… 😀 Well, after looking at 12th century artwork for about 10 years now, it doesn’t happen very often that I run into really good detail photos of extant 12th century artwork which I haven’t seen yet. But I still look out for them as the excitement of finding new detail photos or a special unique piece still gives me a good thrill… *giggle*

2014/07/22

And last but not least – after all the photos from day #1, day #2 and day #3 – you will following find my favorite photos of day #4 of my recent trip to Barcelona. Also on my fourth and last day in Barcelona I did a lot of sightseeing. I was very busy and added even more photos to the memory card of my camera. Retrospective I can say that 4 days are nowhere near enough to see all the great things this awesome city has to offer. And to try all this delicious tapas! Barcelona is definitely worth a visit and here are some new photos for you – enjoy! 😀

…on a medieval photo safari in Vienna…

2014/07/18

At the moment I am on a medieval photo safari in the museums of Vienna… 😀 …I was so excited about the quality of the photos which my new Sony Alpha dslr takes that I decided to “re-take” some photos of my favorite pieces on display at the local museums. Yesterday I already spent about 3.5hours at the treasury and after a first look through my new photos I have to say: all this awesome details! I want more! I am definitely going back today to take more photos! *lol*

Mission Medieval Barcelona accomplished… – my favorite photos from day #2 :D

2014/07/17

*gosch* I really can’t believe it. I already took about 1300 photos during my very first day in Barcelona and thought that this is a really large number. Well, this was until I started to go through the photos of day #2…. …it seems that I took even more photos during my second day in Barcelona. More than 2000 photos – *gosch* – how did I manage this? *lol*

Mission Medieval Barcelona accomplished… – my favorite photos from day #1 :D

2014/07/15

I am happy to say that I successfully accomplished my “Mission Medieval Barcelona”. 😀 I had 4 wonderful days in Barcelona – I visited many museums, tasted several Tapas, Sangria,… and I took many many photos… Though I stayed out of the sun as much as possible, I brought with me a slight sunburn at my shoulders and neck. And what shall I say about my poor feet – even after some rest they still hurt like hell… *lol*

Mission “Medieval Berlin” – the forgotten 14th century Queen from France

2014/04/16

As I promised, I already took a first look through my photos from Berlin. At the very first day I visited the “Tiergarten Berlin” (the zoo) and the nearby aquarium. Knowing that you would prefer to see some of my medieval photos first, I decided to skip this day for now and to start with day 2 and my very first museum visit. What shall I say – it was truly amazing! I already found some lovely medieval art at the very first museum I visited. I spend some hours looking through the medieval collection and took about 2.300 photos. Well, I admit that this count surprised me but I…

Mission “Medieval Berlin” accomplished :D

2014/04/14

I am back again! …and I am very happy to say that I accomplished my “Mission Medieval Berlin”! *happydance* 😀 I had a rather long “wish-list” of museums which I wanted to visit. Therefore my time schedule for Berlin was very tight. 4 very long days filled with a lot of walking and yes, my feet still hurt! But there is just one word to describe my trip: Awesome! I was very busy in Berlin. I visited 7 museums and the zoo & aquarium. I also saw “Checkpoint Charlie”, the “Brandenburger Tor”,… just to name a few places. I even found time to meet two friends who live in Berlin. We…

Mission “Medieval Berlin”

2014/04/10

I am so excited! I am going on a trip to Berlin! My motto for this trip will be: Mission “Medieval Berlin”! *gosch* 4 days filled with sightseeing, the zoo, “Checkpoint Charlie”,… – well, you know, all the “modern stuff” one can’t avoid when visiting Berlin. …and definitely as many museums and “ancient and medieval stuff” as possible! 😉 Yes, I will search Berlin for anything medieval I can find. My friends who live in Berlin already warned me that they don’t know any museums or medieval collections they could recommend. This information inspires me even more to search for even the smallest traces of extant medieval pieces in Berlin. Just 4 hours…
