Good timing is everything. Only yesterday did I learn Frankfurt is hosting Nacht der Museen today (10 May). Over 40 museums and institutions open their doors tonight at 7pm, and close between 1 and 2am. One nifty 17€ price purchasable online includes access to all participating venues, as well as public transport.
I decide to visit the Jewish Museum from 845pm to 1030pm, and the Städel Art Museum from 11pm to 145am.
Queue to the Jewish Museum Frankfurt (JMF). JMF staff went down the queue and took orders for drinks at the patio bar.
Frankfurt, 1929: 3-year old Margot Frank with her baby sister Annelies. Photo likely taken by their father Otto.
Frankfurt, 1929: Frank family nanny Katherina Stilgenbauer with baby Annelies as her big sister Margot looks on.
42 internationally translated versions of Anne Frank’s diary.
Otto Frank displays the Auschwitz number tattooed on his left arm. “It’s a miracle that I’m still alive,” he said. On Otto’s maternal side, the Frank family have been present in Frankfurt since the late 17th-century.
Städel Art Museum. The queue to the east was about 100-people deep. The queue to the west was “only” 20 deep; I chose wisely.
“Horde”, by Daniel Richter, 2007.
There’s very little doubt who and what these figures represent.
“Untitled (Genoa Riot)”, by Armin Boehm, 2007.
“Mountain King (Tunnel) 2 Planets”, by Joseph Beuys, cast 1971.
Very appropriate for Frankfurt: “Johann Wolfgang von Goethe”, by Andy Warhol, 1982.
