Wenesday may the 25, 2005.

Main impression:
Brussels Art and history museum.

Odor:
The smeel of old that you get in history filled museum.

Color:
The old wood color of time worned statues, carved stone and the bleue from roman period glass bottles.

Flavor:
Le taste or lack of taste from refresshing water under a lead melting sun.

Sound:
The sound of steps on the marble tiled flor, steps that echoes in the vastness of this museum.

Texture/sentation :
My feet and knees who don't prefer to walk on marble better than stone pavements!

Day summary:
It's the first very hot day since I'm in Belgium, it's 30°C. The others days, no one knows if they should put on or take off a coat. Now everyones looks for a bit of shadows and freshness!

I decided to enjoy the controled temperature of the Art and histoiry museum. I went in at 11:00 and planned to finish a section around 2:00 pm to take a bite before finishing the rest. I finished the Greeck and Roman section followed by the Pacific Ocean section only at 4:00 pm. It always seems that there is only one room to visit but I always find a new one after each... It's HUGE! I barely had time to visit the temporary exposition on cinéma before they showed me the exit at 5:00.

What interested me the most? The Egypt section with it's sarcophages and mummys also the Easter island with a real statue brought back at a time when it was still considered ok to rob the history remains of colonised contry.

After the museum I went to eat at 't Kelderke on the "Grand-Place", since i didn't take a bite since my breakfast, the flemish stew was a welcomed sight.
