Paul Klee Museum

The new Paul Klee museum in Bern, Switzerland is on the outskirts of town, in a mordern building, constructed to hold the vast collection of the artist's work; this summer the collection was not on display, because the foundation is working on a new show; I took advantage of being there to purchased quite a few postcards to use as research; I also found out that Klee's pieces are difficult to preserve, as many of them were painted on cardboard and burlap, hence the wonderfull textures.
