Terveisi\u00e4 Berliinist\u00e4! Vaikka matkalla upotinkin itseni enimm\u00e4kseen viime vuosisadadan raskaaseen ja surulliseen historiaan, k\u00e4vin Saksan historiallisessa museossa <\/a>piristym\u00e4ss\u00e4 ja katsomassa hieman keskiajan ja 1300-luvun esineist\u00f6\u00e4. On kiva tehd\u00e4 yll\u00e4tt\u00e4vi\u00e4 ja hauskoja l\u00f6yt\u00f6j\u00e4 museoista, joihin ei mene katsomaan jotain jo itselleen valmiiksi tuttua ja ”kuuluisaa” l\u00f6yt\u00f6\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Keskiajan k\u00e4ytt\u00f6esineiden tarkastelu paitsi antaa ideoita tuleviin projekteihin, se avaa my\u00f6s kurkistusikkunoita aikakauden arkeen. Lis\u00e4ksi se hioo ns. keskiaikaista silm\u00e4\u00e4, semmoista selk\u00e4rankaan menev\u00e4\u00e4 ymm\u00e4rryst\u00e4 aikakauden visuaalisesta maailmasta. Sadantuhannen keng\u00e4npohjan ja kolmen miljoonan saviruukun kappaleen tapittamisesta on lopulta se hy\u00f6ty, ett\u00e4 alkaa tunnistaa piirteit\u00e4 joilla voi ajoittaa esineit\u00e4 ja voi soveltaa samaa estetiikkaa omiin v\u00e4kerryksiins\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Lis\u00e4ksi aina v\u00e4lill\u00e4 tulee yll\u00e4ttyneeksi siit\u00e4, mit\u00e4 kaikkea keskiajalla olikaan. Berliinist\u00e4 l\u00f6ytyi pari todella mainiota esinett\u00e4. Joten t\u00e4ss\u00e4 lomakuvia, olkaa hyv\u00e4!<\/p>\n

Greetings from Berlin! Even though on my trip I mostly submerged myself in the tragic and scary history of the 19th Century, I did also lift my spirits with a visit to the medieval exhibition in the Deutsches Historisches Museum<\/a>. I enjoy making discoveries in museums – going into a place that has no ”famous” items to expect and still discovering somehthing that will tickle my brain in a delightful way.<\/p>\n

Looking at medieval everyday items goves you ideas for future projects, as well giving you a peek at the everyday lives of the people that once used these items. It also finetunes the so called medieval eye, a kind of inner understanding of the visual culture of the era. Looking at umpteen thousand shoe pieces and a gazillion pieces of pottery eventually gives a skill to date objects based on their visuals and a possibility to apply that same ’look’ to ones own projects.<\/p>\n

And as an added bonus one can be surprised by the variety of medieval items. I discovered some really neat objects in Berlin – so here is a look at some holiday snapshots!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kaunista keramiikkaa – katsokaa erityisesti koristeluja suurimmassa kannussa ja ruukussa kuvassa oikealla. T\u00e4llaiset esineet murtavat viel\u00e4 jossakin elelev\u00e4\u00e4 myytti\u00e4 keskiaikaisen keramiikan karkeudesta ja koruttomuudesta.<\/p>\n

Beautiful ceramics – look closely at the biggest jug and the beaker on the right. These delightful decorations bust the lingering myth of all medieval ceramics being somehow rough, primitive or plain.<\/p>\n

T\u00e4m\u00e4 pieni muki on oman mukini alkuper\u00e4inen. Mukissani on hauska puolikas kahva. Alkuper\u00e4isess\u00e4 kahva on katkennut, mutta hyvin s\u00e4ilyneess\u00e4 mukiosassa ei n\u00e4y j\u00e4lke\u00e4 siit\u00e4 ett\u00e4 kahvan yl\u00e4p\u00e4\u00e4 olisi siihen kiinnitetty.<\/p>\n

This little mug is the original version of my dear mug, which is an interesting reproduction with a curious half-handle. Although the handle has broken off, the otherwise perfect cup shows no sign of it being attached to the cup.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

T\u00e4m\u00e4 kalenteri oli mahtava! T\u00e4ss\u00e4 on utrechtilainen pergamentista taiteltu taskukalenteri vuodelle 1397. Siin\u00e4 on t\u00e4rkeit\u00e4 p\u00e4iv\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4ri\u00e4 kuten pyhimysten p\u00e4ivi\u00e4 ja kuukausittain t\u00e4rke\u00e4t maatalousty\u00f6t. K\u00f6\u00f6penhaminassa Tanskan kansallismuseossa on samanlainen kalenteri.<\/p>\n

This was really cool! It is a foldable ”pocket” calendar\u00c2\u00a0 for the year 1397 from Utrecht, made of parchment, showing important things like the days of Saints and the labours of different months. There is a similar item in Copenhagen in the Danish national museum.<\/p>\n

\"20130316-100125.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

L\u00e4hikuva ruukun koristeista.<\/p>\n

Closeup of the jug of wonder.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"20130316-100224.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Puusep\u00e4n ty\u00f6kaluja.<\/p>\n

Carpenters tools.<\/p>\n

\"20130316-100302.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

V\u00e4rttin\u00e4painoja. Ihania pieni\u00e4 mutta painavia v\u00e4rttin\u00e4painoja. T\u00e4ll\u00e4isi\u00e4 ei tunnu nyky\u00e4\u00e4n saavan oikein mist\u00e4\u00e4n. Ehk\u00e4 80% museokuvistani on l\u00e4hikuvia tekstiility\u00f6kaluista. Ihminen tarvitsee 3 miljoonaa l\u00e4hikuvaa v\u00e4rttin\u00e4painoista.<\/p>\n

Spindle whorls. Lovely small yet heavy spindle whorls. These are sadly not availble anywhere these days. Maybe 80%\u00c2\u00a0 of my museum pictures are closeups of textile tools. A girl needs 3 million pictures of spindle whorls.<\/p>\n

\"20130316-100326.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sokerina pohjana laskukone Italiasta vuodelta 1340. Ruudukko auttaa laskeman isompiakin summia.<\/p>\n

This was another favourite item. A calculator from Italy around 1340. The columns combined with tokens help calculate larger sums.<\/p>\n
