While in Dusseldorf, we went to the Gasometer which was used as a fuel storage tank until it was converted into an exhibition hall. Nefertiti's bust was one of the many exhibits on display. It is so much more breathtaking in person than in textbooks!
Also on display was Rodin's, The Thinker. Again... AMAZING!
Our Rotary Club host in Dusseldorf was the Neandertal Club. Their club name is taken from the fact that the first specimen of Homo sapiens neandertalis, that was actually studied, was found here.
This was an exhibit in the Neanderthal Museum displaying all of the artificial implements that humans can get: just to name a few, prosthesis, hip and knee replacement, heart, testicle, breast, and cochlear implant. The sculpture is appropriatley displayed standing in on a bed of prescription pills and tablets.
This is a miniature Russian doll given to the ladies on the team by the District Governor of Russia.
Students hard at work in the Neanderlab making various bath products. This was one of our vocational days in Dusseldorf to a technical high school that also allows younger students from local high schools to come in and perform experiments to get them interested in science. GREAT IDEA!
This is a historical luxury car showroom that is in an old train repair station. These cars were amazing!!!
All throughout the cities we've been in, I have noticed stones (not the bronze holocaust markers) that have names on them. I finally figured out what they are for. They are placed in memorial for individuals who have lost their battle to HIV or AIDS. RIP Freddy!
