Just one and half hour train journey from Berlin, I went to Wolfsburg. It is the hometown of Volkswagen and there is a huge VW factory by the station. The town is famous for Autostadt, car theme park by Volkswagen Group. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to walk in but surely it is a dream land for car lovers...

今回この街に来た一番の目的は、ジェームズ・タレルの展覧会を見るためでした。決して安くはなかった電車賃でしたが、その価値あり。ヴォルフスブルク美術館での巨大なインスタレーションは、どう表現すれば良いのやら。
My reason for visiting this town was to see James Turrell's exhibition at Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg. Turrell's gigantic installation had more volume and depth compare to his work in Naoshima. I was stunned. I don't know how to explain but it is something that you have to be there to really understand.

そして、ザハ・ハディッドデザインの科学博物館フェーノへ。平衡感覚を狂わせてくれる建物も面白ければ、ハンズオンの展示も楽しめる。「空飛ぶじゅうたん」までありました。
青い眼の親と茶色の眼の親から生まれる子どもは、50%が茶、37.5%が緑、12.5%が青、なんてことも学んだり。
The science museum Phæno designed by Zaha Hadid was amazing, too. The building throws us off balance - walls are sloped inwards or outwards. I loved all hands-on exhibits.
A child of one blue eyed parent and one brown eyed parent has a 50% chance of being brown eyed, 37.5% green and 12.5% blue. I learnt a new thing...
