DESIGNPANOPTIKUM - SURREALISM FOR THE INDUSTRIAL AGE

MARK AND I SPENT A FEW DAYS IN BERLIN DURING HIS FALL BREAK.   I FOUND THIS MUSEUM ON TRIPADVISOR AND IT SEEMED INTERESTING.   I THINK IT WOULD BE SAFE TO SAY IT WAS THE MOST UNUSUAL MUSEUM I HAVE EVER BEEN TO.  THE GUY WHO RUNS IT IS A FORMER ARTISTIC PHOTOGRAPHER FROM RUSSIA.  HIS NAME IS VLAD.  HE HAD SOME OF HIS PHOTOGRAPHS HANGING UP - AND THEY WERE RATHER EXTREME AVANT-GARDE AS WELL!!   BUT AS STRANGE AND UNUSUAL AS THIS PLACE WAS I WAS GLAD TO SPEND TIME THERE.   IT WAS WORTH IT.
