Open air music

We spent some time at the "Wunderland", an open air festival with several bands in Bietigheim. The weather was ok, it wasn't exactly warm but at least it didn't rain. This year is the 2nd time that the town organizes this festival with 6 stages and music which offers from Hip Hop and Flamenco, Blues and Swing and lots of other stuff. Just have a look at the website.
We have been particularly impressed by a band with the name "Hitboutique" which transform well-known hits from the 80s in Jazz or Swing versions.
The event was completely free and really worth going to, if you missed, just remember next year - hopefully they will repeat it.
Nonetheless there will be an other interesting festival in this town from 16 to 18 July. The tickets cost 5 Euro per person for all three days. You will get a badge to use for these days.
Rock meets Blues - in "Best of Music" - don't miss it! The town will provide several stages and of course lots of food and drinks.

Lindenmuseum

Today I will tell you about a very interesting museum in Stuttgart. The Lindenmuseum is a museum of ethnology and offers very interesting exhibitions. The museum has a very long tradition. They present special exhibitions and permanent exhibitions for the regions of Oceania, North America, South America, Africa, Orient, Far Eastern Art and South Asia. Right now there is an interesting special exhibition about the Shamans of Siberia which will still last until the 29th of June - so, why not try to pay a visit one of these days. Due to rearrangement the permanent exhibitions are partly closed right now until the 29th of July, so inform yourself on the website which parts will be open still. Anyway, the exhibition is enourmous and very diversified. You will find glass cabinets with special exhibition pieces, films which are displayed on the various TV-screens an imitated street which passes the rooms of different craftsmen and much more.

Mercedes Benz Museum

Obligatory for every car fan - the Mercedes Benz Museum.
The building has a very special design and takes up the form of a snail house. There are 7 storeys leading from the beginning in 1886 to the most futuristic car models. The entrance fee right now is 8 Euro per person, children under 15 don't have to pay anything. There are audio guides in several languages. The German audio guide also has a children's section where things are explained a little simpler - I preferred it to be honest. But of course if you are a car fanatic you will stick to the normal version! After handing out the audio guide you will be led to a futuristic elevator which brings you up to the top floor where the tour begins.
f you wish you can also experience the feeling of a Formula 1 pilot in one of the two simulators (usually there are queues so it takes some time until it is your turn).
Here are some impressions of our last visit:
