Dusseldorf Series - Kunst Palast



Entrance to Kunst Palast, on a blustering cold day
As a regional art museum, the Kunst Palast has a diverse collection of medieval sculptures, Dutch and Flemish paintings from the 16th to 18 Century, European painting from Romanticism, works of German Expressionism, and a beautiful collection of glassware. 

Nam June Paik 's Fish Flies on Sky.
I laid on my back on the settee, fascinated by the multi channel monitor
A playful, exquisite piece of glass sculpture
Serenely blue, with glacial tones
Simply exquisite
One tiny piece from the netsuke collection
My favourite painting by Akseli Gallen Kallela.
The whimsical look of a young peasant boy
