Me+A Camera+A Sunny Afternoon in Cluj

Equals lots of pictures for you!

Yesterday (Friday) we did not have class. Instead we went to the Art Museum in the morning and had the afternoon free. The art museum was very interesting. In addition to Romanian art from the 18th and 19th centuries, there was a display of pieces by a contemporary Romanian artist. The exhibit was fascinating, and I am toying with the idea of returning to by a book on his work.

After our visit to the museum, the rest of the group went to see a Hungarian Film at the Transylvania International Film Festival, and I went off to explore the city on my own. In keeping with my pictures from Budapest, I set out to find the highest point of the city to get a nice panoramic view. Here are the pictures from my walk up to the observation area, and my pictures of Cluj from above:


My journey begins at another one of Cluj's beautiful churches.
