Today we went to the Deutsches Museum, according to the guide book this is a great museum for kids, so we thought we would check it out. We packed a picnic lunch and headed to the u-bahn. The museum sits on an in the Isar River, so unless you take the S-bahn you have to walk across the river. We didn't mind except we walked the wrong way. The street you exit the u-bahn on takes you across the river and down the backside, and then you have to cross again to the island. It was the long way around, If we had turned left at the bridge we would have come around the front of the building and taken a straight shot. We did however see a nice neighborhood. Once in the museum we realized that there is a lot to see and to do it properly you need several days to see everything, so we just skimmed through and picked the areas we were most interested in. One other great thing is that you can bring a picnic, they have cafe seating areas that you use and it makes for an enjoyable lunch time at your leisure.
Once in the museum we started with the Coal Mine, This exhibit consists of a dioramas of realistic mining scenes. We enter the shaft with a 19th century chapel that was used by the miners. We wander through a variety of tunnels that looked like real mine shafts.

The Rich History of the Organ in Early Charleston, South Carolina The fifty years between 1750 and 1800 in the history of organists, organs, and organ music in Charleston were eventful: organists of this time were arriving in the colonies from countries other than England and Germany; women were becoming organists; and entire families were making organ playing their occupation. Church music took on greater importance and was improved. Coming to Charleston between 1750 and 1800 were several important Englishmen and Germans. The Bach Music Family - How Long Did They Remain Significant?
Johann Sebastian's youngest son, Johann Christian, who was only 15 when his father died, lived for a time with his brother, Carl Phillip in Berlin, but soon left Germany. Johann Christian was the first Bach to do such a thing! He studied and worked for a time in Italy and learned to compose in a totally different style than any of the other Bachs. In fact, he composed mostly opera in the Italian style. Eventually he ended up in London where he was a court composer for the Queen. How Did Johann Sebastian Bach Become a Famous Organist?
This week Johann is off to Halle to, as he says, "test the lungs" of the huge new organ at the Church of Our Lady. He improvises wonderful pieces for these events. Sometime those improvisations go on and on for over an hour! It is amazing. Therefore my wonderfully talented husband was given an increase in salary and a new position as Choirmaster at the Court of Saxe-Weimar. My husband's reputation is becoming legendary and his skills as an organist are known all over Germany. Some Information on Focus Bikes
