Here comes the last day of Museum’s tour in Berlin which started 2 days ago, when I’ve got a three days pass. Then I planned to visit the most TOP 10 from the booklet recommended. Surely, I was just picking up some interesting <—which I regarded… mostly were painting and drawing. For example, Gemäldegalerie (old master painting) in Postsdam Platz and Alte Nationalgalerie in Museumsinsel. I didn’t miss DDR, Guggenheim and Pergamonmuseum for sure. But the most interesting one was not on this list, which is the one I saw today in Charlottenburg which just opposite to the Palace, called Scharf-Gerstenberg. This is a private collection of Scharf’s family and showcases of the Surrealists. Two floors and one big hall covers many important works from Piranesi, Goya, Redon, Dali, Rene Magritte, Paul Klee, Max Ernst and Jean Dubuffet. Remembered that once I was in Brussel, I took a tour to Rene Magritte Museum which impressed me very much. I thought I really appreciate what the artists’ creative works. I started my first touch on this topic. Now, I am still learning about Surrealism. This private collection of Scharf are not the Mega store, but tidy, nice, interesting and modern. There are cafe and film display also. Can take a short break on weekdays afternoon especially the weather is bad outside.

今天是漫遊博物館的最後一天，說是最後，只因我買的是三天通行證，期限在今天屆滿。我打開小冊子選擇，例如是十大必逛的博物館，當然我也有個人喜好，大多數揀畫廊，包括在 Postsdam Platz 的 Gemäldegalerie、博物館島的舊國家畫廊，亦不缺最人氣的東德生活館、有名的 Guggenheim 及看古文名的 Pergamon。但最令我難忘的，卻是今天所參觀的 Scharf-Gerstenberg，她是一間私人館，位於 Charlottenburg 城堡的對面，展品其實是超現實主義的作品，由 Scharf 家族擁有及收藏。開放的是一個大廳及兩層的展廳，展出全是超現實主義的代表，包括 Piranesi, Goya, Redon, Dali, Rene Magritte, Paul Klee, Max Ernst and Jean Dubuffet 等的作品。我記得我在布魯塞爾看過 Magritte 的博物館，印象深刻，這是我最初接觸超現實主義的畫家的作品。而如今我仍是在學習中，也許 Scharf 不是一間龐大的博物館，極其量是小巧精緻有趣又摩登，不過她也不乏 Cafe 及影片播放室。我想，大家可在這兒留幾小時，尤其外邊的天氣差不想活動之時。
