Typographie des Terrors

Dear Friends
yesterday I visited the exhibition Typographie des Terrors - Plakate in München
1933 bis 1945, at the Stadt Museum in Munich. The exhibition is dedicated to the
nazi propaganda posters appeared in Munich in that period. Many of the posters
presented have a clear antisemitic content, many other advertised exhibitions and
concerts with ideological purposes, still other were dedicated to the Army and the
SS. Interesting to note is that also the Deutsches Museum, as well as other public
institutions, played a big role in the nazi propaganda. My general impression is that
said posters are rather harsh and not gay, the background normally dark or uni-
form puts in evidence the subject on it, destinated to remain impressed together
with a simple message of few words in the mind of the public. Unfortunately take
images of the posters was not allowed. However, you can have an idea of said pos-
ters and their contents in looking to the following links:

Tiefsee at Rosenheim

Dear Friends
I suggest you of don't miss the occasion to visit the exhibition Tiefsee at the Lokschuppen in Rosenheim: http://www.lokschuppen.de/
The exhibition is ideally subdivided in four parts: the means for arriving at and for studying the deep sea, the creatures populating it, the features of its bottom surface and its resources. The models and the images of the ships and instrumentations involved, withness the human interest and effort in the exploration of this deep world, parallel to our, populated by strange fishes and mollusques adapted to survive at high pressures and practically in the obscurity, by curious active geological structures and formidable mineral richnesses. I send you some images in order to give you an impression of this interesting the exhibition and in case of comments, please let me know.
