Museum Brandhorst (Munich)
In 2009 Museum Brandhorst in Munich opened and I have been wanting to visit ever since. Finally I managed to have a look at the amazing building by Sauerbruch Hutton architects.
From the outside the museum is very colorful and thus very representative of the architects' work.
The interior is warm & welcoming because wood was chosen as main material.
The paintings I liked most were "City Landscape" by Alex Katz because of the dark blues and the contrasting firefly-like light elements.
Also I really liked the exhibition room on the very top, full of Cy Twombly larger-than-life rose paintings.
The roses were accompanied by the following poem I liked:
Rose
brief
brief in its beauty
but the
Scent
better than Fame
Enjoy!

Blue Spa Terrace, Bar (Munich)
After a busy day in Munich the most relaxing place to meet friends for coffee, tea or drinks is the Blue Spa Lounge on the rooftop of Hotel Bayrischer Hof in the city centre next to Fuenf Hoefe area.
Even though the bar is part of the hotel's spa area that was redecorated by Andrée Putman recently it is open to the public. If it is really cold you can sit by the open fireplace indoors but of course sipping a nice drink on the rooftop, enjoying the view of the city and maybe even the sunset is nicer. If the weather is chilly the service provides you with fake-fur blankets and there are patio heaters.
The menu is very big including all sorts of spa/health drinks, juices and teas.
Enjoy!

Saatchi Gallery (London)
I really liked the old Saatchi Gallery located close to the London Eye with all its Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin wonders. I was therefore very excited to finally visit the new location near Sloane Square.
The building is huge and nicely located next to a children´s sportsfield. Very picturesque and tranquil considering its still central location. The inside is very light, rooms are inviting and big, the wooden flooring giving a cozy and warm feeling.
I particularly enjoyed the work "Exstacy Almond Blossom" by Mustafa Hulusi and Clarisse d'Arcimoles photography.
Will definitely be back.

Peggy Porschen, Café (London)
While strolling through Belgravia after a visit to the V&A I stumbled across Peggy Porschen´s newly opened (2010) café.
The atmosphere is perfect for a girls-only-high-tea. You feel like entering a wedding cake as the café/store is all pink and white and decorated with Peggy Porschen´s amazing signature cakes and cupcakes (3,50 pound each).
I loved my classic vanilla cupcake.
