Oops! Just got up, opened my phone, scrolled through my social feeds and there it is: The disappointing insight, that one of my exhibition excursion goals of this spring / summer season just closed last week. That I was thinking for too long of finding the time, an exhibition date and an eventual babysitter. Sounds all familiar, doesn’t it?
In my case it’s #PinaCaravaggisti, a wonderful exhibition highlighting the work of Caravaggio, the huge influencer of his times and his followers’ wonderful interpretations of the masters’ aesthetic achievements.
Well, missing out on an exhibition might sound familiar, but there’s a small but important difference in this case. The originals might soon travel to their home museums. But luckily something else stays behind: The Pinakotheken’s wonderful VR project, conceived by the museum and Google Arts & Culture.
