As it's my last weekend in Sibiu, I thought I'd better do something a bit cultural. Fortunately the contemporary art gallery (part of the main Brukenthal Museum) is in my street, so I thought I'd call in there. It didn't take long - one room with one exhibition (which was OK, but nothing amazing) and another room where they were installing something or other. The staircase was quite pretty though. I was a bit disappointed - I went to the main Brukenthal Museum, which is on Piata Mare, several weeks ago and thought it was a bit dull (lots of portraits of men with wigs), so was hoping this one would be better.
There are fireworks tonight. It's the opening day of another festival here (now is it the Lyrical Art Festival, or the Free Theatre Festival? I forget, they're both on and starting around about today). So I shall go to see them, though it'll be my bedtime - I really like fireworks. And as I have been organised and have my two remaining Sibiu interviews scheduled for tomorrow (when museums are closed) I shall try to pop into the History Museum (which HD and I never did manage to go to) on Tuesday (my last full day here).
Anything to avoid packing. Argh.
