Hamburg Day 2

Great day- lots of walking.Visited Planten un Blomen - a beautiful park in the middle of the city with the largest Japanese garden in Europe, botanical gardens and  a tropical house.  In the afternoon found the Hamburg Kunsthalle -a beautiful Art hall & Contemporary Gallery.  Here I viewed a visiting exhibition - "Passage dangereux"- by Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010).  A most confronting exhibition of sculptures, tapestries & textile works from the last 15 years of her life. In front of the museum - stood a 9 metre high spider made of bronze, steel & marble- always the greeting to all passer- bys for one of her exhibitions. I did not enjoy the art as I found the pieces disturbing- but nevertheless it was interesting
