Grassi Museum

This is a temporary display of sculptures in front of and within the grounds of this museum.

stumbling stone

For some time now "Stolperstein" like this have been appearing set into the pavements in front of many houses. They tell us who used to live there and how they left and died. There is an organisation that arranges for the brass plaques to be fixed to remind us of the many persecuted people, jews, gypsies,homosexuals,Jehovah's Witnesses, euthanasia and political victims of the Nazi Madness.

Town plan

This old map on the tunnel hoarding shows the city centre. The fortifications were removed and green areas planted. Gradually the circular road round the centre is dominating the greenery so that its not so easy to enjoy. The centre is however gradually becoming traffic free, which is very pleasant.

No crowds here.

Art on the walls

Everywhere you go in Leipzig you can look up and see expensive artwork on the side of normal blocks of flats. I am amazed that people were so rich that they could afford it, and then I remember that it's nearly all been renovated in the last 20 years and that the skills and the money to pay for it still exist.
