Deutches Historisches Museum German Historical Museum designed by Ioeh Ming Pei, the architect who designed the glass pyramid of Louvre
I.M. Pei’s Miho Museum, on a mountain ridge in a nature preserve in Shiga Prefecture, Japan, an hour’s drive from Kyoto. The Miho Museum houses Mihoko Koyama’s private collection of Asian and Western antiques belonging to Mihoko Koyama (after whom it is named), the heiress to the Toyobo textile business, and one of the richest women in Japan. This photo shows the tunnel leading into the museum that cuts through the mountain. It`s a 200-metre curve, silent and echoless, and ends with the cables of a half suspension bridge 120 meters across a deep, narrow gorge. Its a stunning museum. If you`re ever in Japan, please check out this hidden gem. !

“In 1983 i.m.pei was offered the ‘grand Louvre’ project by the / French government. / ‘one of my conditions prior to accepting the commission… / was to see if there was something I could do… / the Louvre was built in parts successively since the 12th century, / first as a donjon, then as a palace… / the problem was how to make (it) into a modern museum. / the Louvre had lots of exhibition space… / but was totally lacking in infrastructure… / after three secret ‘private’ visits…I said to myself, / ‘yes, I am going to try.’ Besides creating two large glass covered courtyards to house / sculptures, pei’s design also included the excavation of two / other courtyards in order to create storage and infrastructure / space. / pei’s pyramid design was very controversial and ‘maybe 90% / of the people of Paris were opposed to it at the beginning’, / although now almost everyone loves it. / in fact it is considered one of the landmarks of Paris, / together with the Eiffel tower. “The glass pyramid is a symbol that defines the entry to the / Louvre. it is placed precisely at the center of gravity of the / three pavilions…it assumes the function of a symbolic entry to a huge / complex of meandering interconnected buildings / which had no center.” But why a pyramid? why not a cylinder or a cone? / “Formally, it is the most compatible with the architecture of the Louvre… / it is also one of the most structurally stable of forms, / which assures its transparency… / as it is constructed of glass and steel, / it signifies a break with the architectural traditions of the past. / it is a work of our time.” (from the book “conversations with i.m. pei”) Camera Specs: Nikon D 50.

No, your eyes are not playing tricks, how the heck this old place was still standing, I don’t know. / Taken on PEI. If anyone does have anymore info on this place, I would love to hear about it. These old houses are subject to some harsh conditions in the maritimes and if they get the least bit neglected they fade away. First the paint starts to peel, then it’s only a matter of time before the winters, winds and rains wear them down to the ground. There’s always something about an abandoned house that’s intriguing. They stand helpless to the elements while hopelessly guarding all their stories inside.
This quaint statue waits to greet visitors to Prince Edward Island, Canada / Anne of Green Gables was a fictional character of Lucy Maude Montgomerys’. / Because of her popularity most people believe she was a real person. / The book launched Lucy to international fame. There is also a house and museum park dedicated to Lucy and Anne on the island.
