When I first visited the Bauhaus school in Dessau, one thing was missing: the Bauhaus sign that appears in most school images. That part of the building was covered with a tarp, and a replacement sign was in place. For years, I wondered when the original sign would be back in place, and I had an answer to that question in the summer of 2024.

We visited the Bauhaus Museum in Dessau back in the summer of 2021. During that trip, we visited Dresden, Leipzig, Halle and Dessau, and this museum was one of the most memorable parts. It was the first destination on our trip to celebrate the COVID-19 booster shot.

One of the most famous Bregenz Festival stages is the one from the 2007/2008 season. This is where some scenes for the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace were filmed. We remember watching it on TV some time before going to Bregenz and it looked almost unreal.

The Neon Muzeum, with a Z, is a museum dedicated to the preservation and documentation of Poland’s cold war era neon signs and they do this really well. As you walk the hallways of this small museum, you will see a lot of neon signs and learn a lot about where they were, how they were used and how did they manage to get to the Neon Museum.

There is a story online that Berlin has more than 200 museums. If this is true or not, we don’t know but one of my favorite art museums in the city is known as Buchstabenmuseum, but I like to call it the Museum of Letters. I like to call it like that because, inside the building, you will see a large number os neon signage from Berlin and around the world.
