I love museums. To go to a new city means to visit at least one museum there. Strasbourg has so many museums like every city in Europe.
I took the tram to Museé d’Art Moderne et Contemporain, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art.
I can live in a museum. Nah actually I can live in a library 😉 I would be dead and preserved if I lived in a museum eh. 😀 The Louvre can tire you, there is so much to see and absorb but this museum in Strasbourg is compact and just right.
Then I discovered Gustave Doré. This here is one of his most famous paintings-Le Christ quittant le prétoire.
He illustrated Danté’s Inferno, he was cartoonist and sculptor as well. He was modern and contemporary and a pioneer whose influence is especially obvious on almost all graphic novels I have read until now.
There is a reason why I love museums. Because I learn new things all the time. How does Doré’s work affect my life? I now I have a reference for the ‘comics and cartoons’ I see AND work I look at in creative moments.
Next time I am in Strasbourg I will visit this museum again.
