This week, I hopped on a train to Berlin to see some of the pieces that I have been studying. I think it’s always helpful to see pieces in person (if possible), and I always find museums inspiring–you never know what you’re going to discover that could help your research.
One of my pet interests is theory and authenticity. In other words, I enjoy researching and thinking about ancient and modern forgery. I wasn’t expecting to spend time thinking about this on my trip to Berlin, but, as suggested above, you never know what you’ll find in a museum that will inspire you.
