Day 3 - Museum für Gestaltung

I haven't shown any of the breakfast items yet, so I thought I'd share a photograph of a basic one I've had every morning so far.

Day three of our trip and our class headed out to visit the Museum für Gestaltung. It was a cold day, 50F and the weather was grey with rain. It wasn't soaking if one had an umbrella or jacket, but still it seeped through my clothing a bit.


When we first entered the building, we were instructed to leave our items in a locker and at first we believed that we would not be allowed to take photographs. This was extremely devastating to Brooke, however, I thankfully asked the guide and she corrected us with saying we could not take photographs with flash on. Without flash was absolutely fine. So we split our group of 21 into two groups and headed off to visit the archives. To my surprise, the building was once a milk pasteurization plant that had been converted into the museum. This place has over 500,000 graphic design pieces alone, not including their 200,000+ posters, contemporary works, and sustainable designs. For a designer, this place was a walk in heaven.
