Lucerne Picasso Museum and Leaving Lucerne

We took ourselves to a Picasso Museum where we saw many of Picasso's original sketches, sculptures and paintings. His sketches were really the best of all the art forms on display. Picasso was French but lived most of his life in France near Cannes. Very prolific guy. He wanted to capture people from both the front and in profile and this lead to the abstract look of his figures. There are themes in Picasso's work - eyes, circles, women's bodies etc. When we got to the painting section an alarm would go off if you touched the pictures or walls. His paintings were in bright colors on large canvases.





We went walking across another bridge with murals on the eaves under the wooden roof depicting death coming to claim people. Death looked like a skeleton. We returned to the camping ground and packed up out Igluzelt, then headed out. We had intended to go to Interlaken next but the highway made it more logical to visit Bern first, so we did. We learn so much from the people who give us lifts - it's a wonderful way to travel and get to know the people of a country.
