ScandiFlavin
One little island away from Old Town is the site of the Modern Museet – Stockholm’s Museum of Modern Art. We got to see a lot of art that had been covered in previous classes as well as some familiar pieces from little ol’ Marfa, Texas. All of the major modern players made an appearance, but Duchamp stole the show with his brilliant readymade – The Fountain, so powerful it almost brings tears to your eyes.
On the way back from the Modern Museet heard music and saw a crowd (basically a tractor beam for any self-respecting tourist.) Upon further investigation it was the Royal Swedish Military band playing outside the Royal palace. We approached just as they started playing YMCA, showing a slightly more playful side than any military band I’ve ever seen. Lauren overheard a group of Italians near us singing along to what they thought were the lyrics.
