The “Young Gods” concert in Zürich Switzerland.

The Landesmuseum, Zürich Switzerland

A broad spectrum display from Swiss history From Catholicism, Calvinism, The Reformation, to the poverty before WWII and the boost of the banking industry post-WWII.

Poignant achievements in the largest stained glass collection in history, to Lindt artisan chocolates, The Ski industry, watchmaking, and a couple solid contributors to Modern Art.

Musei Vaticani, The Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica

Here I learned about “Fresco” and “Chiaroscuro”.  I saw amazing uses of firelight, candlelight and daylight by Artist Raphael, and saw evidence of sarcasm in paintings by the painter/sculptor Michaelangelo, who may have been more of a hostage, than a guest in Vatican city.

 A Catalogue of photographs of Marilyn Monroe

Somehow I found this exhibition very melancholy.  A little orphan girl who belonged to no one desperately wanted to be loved by everyone.  Though she nearly was, it wasn’t enough to close the aching hole of rejection and loneliness from her infancy, which tainted her relationships, mental health, and perhaps ended her life.
