At the entrance, I came across a collective poster showing People within the Museum, not visitors, but people working there standing in front of their favorite exhibits.
The individual posters (click to enlarge) were initially shown in the Museum of Contemporary Art hallway. Today, I found them a bit hidden in the Augustinermuseum's attic.
From the large mosaic of photos, I have selected four examples that I particularly liked.
Mr. Thess from the supervisory service says of Hans Baldung Grien's Mother of God with the Sleeping Child (1514 or 1520 ), "This is a touching picture. I'm very religious, and red is my favorite color."
Mrs. Schick from the cashier service says about Matthias Grünewald's Snow Miracle (1517/19), Foundation of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, "I firmly believe in miracles; they enrich life."
Mr. Thomas from the box office and supervisory service says about Auguste Rodin's bronze sculpture (reduction from 1898) The Kiss, "This work inspires me. It reminds me of the passion of my marriage. I traveled to Las Vegas especially for my wedding to get married in the chapel where Elvis got married." and
Mrs. Herbaly from the cashier service adds, "The kiss is sensual and full of devotion, a divine story that will last forever."
Mrs. Steuer, team leader of the supervisory service, says about the busts of the saints of the Freiburg guilds (1653-1800), "Everyone has to believe in something. Faith is also hope that everything will end well. That touches me."
The blog about the Hans Thoma exhibition will have to wait.

yes... went to the attic too just two days ago, with a guest, and we had a look to the poster. Meanwhile I befriended some of the Service Desk... they even say, you are so often here, please add to your agenda, this and that new exhibit will come soon... They are in general very very friendly...
