Detail of my favorite figure from the grouping of Rodin's The Burghers of Calais, cast 1902-03. And, once again, because *every* museum has some version of Rodin's The Age of Bronze, cast 1901! @Glyptoteket #ITweetMuseums #Rodin
Not sure why #TeaterMuseet displays all their busts on the stairs, but it kind of works. #ITweetMuseums
I mean, look at these details! (Again folks, this is at the Geological Museum.) #ITweetMuseums
The upper dome, painted by Oscar Matthiesen in the early 1900s, symbolizes "The light of truth defeats darkness," or as its Latin inscription says: Lux veritatis tenebrarum victrix. I found it utterly bewildering, and odd imagery for a museum mostly about rocks. #ITweetMuseums
#StockholmSubway stations are designed to brighten your commute, rather than make it feel oppressive. Instead of trying to hide that you're in a carved-out underground tunnel, the stone has been left with rough hewn edges, but enhanced with fanciful bursts of color and design.
The current temporary exhibition focusing on textiles highlighted various head scarf wrappings, which I found simply executed, but really insightful. #ITweetMuseums #Medeltidsmuseet
Amongst various displays, I was mesmerized by an array of shoes, in particular one w/ detailed cut-outs to show off your stocking. Another section of the museum had contemporary recreations based on Medieval shoe patterns & techniques. I'd wear 'em #ITweetMuseums #Medeltidsmuseet
Another great history museum in Stockholm: @nordiskamuseet. A colossal 1925 statue of King Gustav Vasa, sculpted by Carl Milles, greets you upon entering, and dominates the impressively voluminous space. #ITweetMuseums #NordiskaMuseet #GustavVasa #CarlMilles
Last museum of the day was kind of a thrill for me: I finally got to visit the @ModernaMuseet. The following tweets are some personal standouts. First up: (detail) Robert #Rauschenberg, Monogram, 1955-59. The work that put this museum on my mental map years ago. #ITweetMuseums
@museumnerd @Guggenheim I love getting lost the voids in her work. The stitches also captivate me for some reason.
