Was ist Neue?

The Neue Galerie was our first stop today to see the Klimt exhibit. It didn't take us long to get through the exhibit of about 7 paintings and many drawings / personal effects. I was a little disappointed that there weren't more paintings (and that the Neue didn't permit photos in the galleries), but the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer (postcard shown in picture) was worth the price of admission. Unbelievable. The Neue paid $135 million for this painting, which may still hold the record. Plus, the subject and provenance of the painting are pretty fascinating. 

Anyway, we're back at the hotel now...gearing up for the My Morning Jacket concert tonight. Auf Wiedersehen.
