<p>[QUOTE="Fid, post: 4452681, member: 7724"]from my experience the private museums and foundations in Europe are much more helpful when it comes to inquiries than the state-run museums and collections; especially when it comes to such special questions as here . the latter have employees that are paid by the state and don't give anything about their marketing and receive their fix wages anyways. the worst in those respects are of course the French with their god-like "flakes" that don't know other languages than French. the Italians don't like English and German and sometimes - when not on strike again - answer in French or Italian etc.. the worst when it comes to internet sites are the Eastern Europeans; for me especially the Czechs for my old Bohemian ceramics stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>this case is a good example that you can gather good information by 1. not castrating your search machines to English - because more often than not the language choice is inside the home pages.</p><p>and 2. always stay critical to what is being said in fora because there are many around that work with old books and sources that are "to be deleted". just ask yourself what you'd say when your surgeon tells you he has to look up what Ferdinand Sauerbruch thought about your case....</p><p>a special nuisance are paying sites that sell infos as the gold-standard which are either made-up or proven wrong by serioues institutions a long time ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>some sunny days from me as well ! and hopefully someone may come up with other names because it's an interesting item and Bauhaus was a bit forgotten for a long time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
