2nd visit to Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe (Museum of Arts and Trades), in
company of Margaritha Durrieu. Search for the tapestry designed by Schmidt-
Rottluff, which, however, has already been moved to the Magazin (Repository).
The tapestry is still missing to this day. Possibly it had been taken down as a
result of a written appeal sent to all German curators on 5th November 1936
concerning the "Säuberung der Museumsbestände" ("cleansing of museum stocks") – i.e. the removal of all "entartete Kunst" ("degenerate art") from their rooms. |

Then Japanese rooms, where even the Schwertzierat interests me only most mildly. It is another of the blank days.
