I am a big baby












So last night was the first night I spent at Gertrud and Heinz's property Art St. Urban, which is kind of like a private museum. A very beautiful but creepy museum, since it used to be an insane asylum. There are lots of small cells and nooks and cranies, and the whole place makes creepy noises at night, as big old buildings with weird histories are apt to do. Needless to say, I was a bit spooked since I was there alone, and I didn't sleep too well. Here are some pictures of the building, the amazing living space, my room, and some of the more bizare art that didn't help make me feel any more comfortable. Fortunately, no monsters got me.

Holy one swank artistic insane asylum! Keep the interesting pics coming along those lines - I am seeing Europe through a whole different artistic perspective and vicariously living through you at yes, my boring desk job!

Besos, Deanna

Incredible and amazing. I'm jealous of your "freedom" in the asylum...

I don't think I'd have an easy time sleeping there either...
