On Thursday I was in Hamburg, where I bought some cards for my collection.
The Kunsthalle Hamburg is one of the largest art museums in Germany and shows European art from the Middle Ages to the present day. It was founded in 1850. The most famous artwork in its collection is for sure Caspar David Friedrich's "Wanderer above the Sea of Fog", but in fact the Kunsthalle shows artworks from most of the great names of Europa's art history.
The art cards I bought show "The Hülsenbeck Children" by Philipp Otto Runge, "Flora" by Jan Massys, "New-ploughed Field" and "Hill and Ploughlands near Dresden" by Caspar David Friedrich, "Simeon and Hanna in the Temple" by Rembrandt, "Madonna (Loving Woman)" by Edvard Munch, "The Net Menders" by Max Liebermann, "Monkey Frieze" by Franz Marc, "Old Locomotive" by Lyonel Feininger and "The Head of an Old Man" by Leonardo da Vinci.
The Hamburg Hauptbahnhof is the main railway station of Hamburg and is classed by Deutsche Bahn as a category 1 railway station. It was opened in 1906, when it replaced four older train stations. Today it is the busiest train station in Germany and one of the busiest in Europa.
