day at the sculpture park_middelheim museum

So....yes, its been a bit too long since my last entry...i was busy the past (almost) 2 weeks assisting with yet another exhibition - this time in Hasselt, Belgium...more information on that here..

as for today's entry, Jos and I took a much needed cycling trip to the middelheim museum about 20mins cycling from our place [much needed because today's weather was projected at 27 degrees, as well as that I really need to get used to cycling in the city]

as you can see from the photo, got my sunnies on, bike in the background, awesome blus skies, the weather is super nice..

The middelheim museum is a unique exhibition space because it is in the middle of a park!!  Amidst the trees and small streams, you'll encounter classic bronze figurative sculptures..

or a girl running in between the trees

or even a rotunda of speakerboxes serenading a rose bush!!

This was one of our particular faves...its a series of curved glass pieces - but in the picture, it looks like some kind of optical illusion!
so after almost 3 hours of walking in and around the park, we headed back home for the 20 minute cycle trip where i even negotiated the tramlines ok [if anyone has ever ridden alongside the tram lines, cars whizzing past, and the thin line between tram line and drain, you know how difficult that can be]
