Visit at the Lapidarium Stuttgart

The so called „Städtisches Lapidarium“ is an open air museum of the city of Stuttgart showing statues, sculptures, columns and the likes from roman tombstones to notable ruins from bourgeoisie buildings destroyed in WWII. This is a travel in stone through almost 2000 years of Stuttgart. All exhibited items have their origin in and around Stuttgart. The museum is arranged in the style of an Italian renaissance garden, located on the slopes of the Karlshöhe in Stuttgart (Mörikestraße 24/1). It is a wonderful quiet place in the middle of the city. Unfortunately the place is only open in summer month from mid Mai to mid September.

Weissenhof, Stuttgart

End of last winter I had a chance to take a few nice pictures from outside of the Le Corbusier-building at the "Weissenhofsiedlung" in Stuttgart during the blue hour.

Last Saturday I returned with friends this time to visit the museum which is located inside the Le Corbusier-building. One half of the Le Corbusier-building hosts the actual museum with documentation about the Werkbund exhibition at Weissenhof, documents from the 1920s including original plans and photos. The other half is restaurated in the original state designed by Le Corbusier. If you are interested in the Bauhaus or architecture in general I can recommend to visit the Weißenhof in Stuttgart.
