Germany: Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum

On 9th December I got a postcard from Germany.

It shows a Christmassy view of the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum in Bremen's Böttcherstraße. The Böttcherstraße is a short street that is a main cultural landmark and tourist attraction in the city due to its unusual architecture. Mainly erected between 1922 and 1931 at the behest of coffee trader Ludwig Roselius, the street is a rare example of Expressionist architecture. The Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum is one of the most striking buildings in the street. This museum about the important early Expressionist artist Paula Modersohn-Becker was opened in 1927 and is the first museum in the World solely dedicated to a female artist. 

A stamp about the Star of Bethlehem (issued 03-11-2014) was used here.


Thank You very much Svenja!
