Back in the car just in time!

For the rest of the drive, we moved in and out of blue skies, and
downpours.

The Bauhaus movement

Also of significant note was that the Bauhaus movement was started in
Weimar in 1919. We ducked into the museum for a quick tour. We watched
a documentary about the movement (in german) and it was quite the name-
dropping flashback to college. Many of the innovators who founded the
Bauhaus movement (Gropius, Itten, Schlemmer, Klee, Kandinsky, Moholy-
Nagy, etc) were also instrumental in driving modern graphic design in
the US after WWII.

The museum was a bit less than impressive, but it was fun to revisit
the historical tradesmen of my art!

Quick sightseeing stop in Weimar

We took a bit of a longer route back into east Germany before heading
south to make a quick stop in Weimar.

Known as a huge cultural center over the years, boasting Schiller,
Goethe, Bach, and many more as famous residents. The statue pictured
in the center square depicting Schiller and Goethe.
