Magnificent Mainz-2
One of the attractions not to be missed in Mainz is the Gutenberg Museum opposite the cathedral in the heart of the old town, the “Rhinealle area” of Mainz. The museum was founded in 1900, 500 years after Guttenberg’s birth and is a celebration to the inventiveness of this national hero.
The museum also houses amazing examples of the writing and printing of as many different cultures across the ages as possible.
While being a tourist attraction it also is a center of study of mans quest to communicate and the techniques of doing so, there is a historical slice of 500 years of books and the means to print them cataloged here.
The museum building depicted is not the original location but moved to this location in the market in 1912, it truly is a fitting monument to a man responsible for liberating the masses.
Disclaimer: Not trying to be realistic in my editing there is enough realism in the world, my style is a mix of painterly and romanticism as well as a work in progress.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 15-30 2.8 G2 Lens processed in LR and DXO Nik
