The dinosaurs are still there, where we had seen them during our visit many years ago. however, the natural history museum had been upgraded in many areas. A spacey sphere was build in which movies about the cosmos are shown and many departments have now huge screens which show for example the geological history of the earth in many details. Some sites sound like a german building supplies store were also video-messages baaing from the all-over the installed screens.
in new york nothing is more constant than change, but chelsea is still the address for contemporary art galleries.
Since decades ken grimes paints his statements and theories about the contact to aliens and extraterrestrial intelligence on the canvas. He refers to the roman “contact” by carl sagan (american astrophysicist and writer) or he quotes important passages from the novels of bertram chandler (australian science fiction author) in which one of the protagonists is also called grimes. He writes with pencil on his canvas and then paints the background black, the color of the universe. The message will then appear in white, the color of truth, so grimes.

Actually new haven could also be named yale city, because these elite college continues to shape the cityscape not only in an architectural way. New haven has also a great museum (yale university art museum), where headless romans are displayed under the same roof as african- and contemporary art. This museum is a „must see“ in new haven and there is even no entrance fee. I was overwelmed by the artwork of jean-michel basquiat who passed away in the age of just 28 years. © n.g.
