Art and life outside the museum
While wandering home from a museum, I discovered a fantastic parking lot filled with street art by Melbourne-based artist, Two One. He originally hails from Japan. Here's more about the artist:

The Stiftung Stadtmuseum about Berlin's history, located in a lovely green square and surrounded by sculptures, was excellent and huge, covering over 775 years of artifacts. Highly recommend it for multiple visits. First Wednesdays each month are free, otherwise it costs 5 Euros.
Finally saw the famous Berlin bear named "Schnute." She's a live brown bear living next to the museum. She's now 33 years old! That's far beyond life expectancy for an urban bear in captivity. It's a bit sad as she's alone on a little island, now that she outlived her offspring. :( Anyways, apparently she is relatively content, according to the grounds keeper. I saw her cooling off in her bath after taking a little walk around her island.
Finally, I leave you with this message:
