Gilbert - A Trip to the Museum

 



At the end of April we got tickets to visit the Versace Exhibit at the Groninger Museum. We invited a friend to join us.

When we arrived at the museum we saw there was another exhibit as well: art from album covers made by studio Hipgnosis. We decided to check that out first.

There were some really cool pictures, like this lobster going for a walk.


A sheep lounging by the sea.

Oh! I recognize this!

There were several photos of the famous Pink Floyd pig! So cool to see.



Next it was time for Versace.

Yeah....
I'm probably an uncultured piggy, because this is not to my tastes.

I liked some of the punk and alternative inspired outfits.

But it was fun to look around and criticize the clothes on display.

Seeing all these mannequins from behind was a bit surreal. 

We also had a quick look at the permanent exhibit.

A flying robot.

Not sure what this is,

And I saw The standard-bearer by Rembrandt which was temporarily on display.

It was beautiful weather, so we went to the Gold Office where had drinks and nachos outside, enjoying the sun.

Later we went to friends for dinner and games. It was a really fun day!
