National Gallery of Victoria: Ian Potter

Submitted by Leica Lucien on Mon, 04/28/2014 - 08:34

For my contemporary arts class, we had to go to the National Gallery of Victoria in the beginning of the semester. I was planning on going to the museum anyways, but I decided to wait and go with my class.  My class ventured to the museum on the second day of class, which I thought was weird considering, we only had one previous lecture class.

Austria...and a Little Germany

As I mentioned in my last post my last post, my spring break was spent in Austria and briefly Germany on the way.  My friend, Jackie, and I started out our trip flying into Munich and went from there. The first night we just spent exploring, wandering around until we found the Glockenspiel and absorbed a bit of the city. It was rainy and cold, but nothing a beer and a bratwurst couldn't fix. The day next we woke up early and got on the train to Neuschwanstein castle .
