floor of the security area at lisbon airport. first seen in 2021, still there in 2024, gone in 2025. I liked that they asked for physical not social distancing.

the thoroughly renovated one at breitenbachplatz has recently been updated. now there's even the famous fly in the urinal (yes, the one from amsterdam's schiphol airport).

from place furstenberg, it's only a few steps to the café deux magots, where simone de beauvoir used to work. corina and I went to the café after our visit of place furstenberg and had a cappucino there and two tarte aux framboises (altogether ~50€ with tip). all in all, a most memorable day :-)

place furstenberg is one of my favourite places in paris - and I love the collage david hockney made in 1985 (he calls these collages 'joiners'). you see on the left the sign of eugène delacroix' atelier, but the 'métaphores' boutique wasn't there in '85 (on the right).

born in wiesbaden, I know that this museum is not just a noble temple of art, but has also developed over the years into a very lively communication platform.
