celts, iron works,

Celtic face #1

There is currently a major exhibition on Celts in the old ironworks in Völklingen. Saarland is located in an area which was at the core of the La Tène Celtic culture and many traces from that time have been unearthed here. As for the exhibition, the images of faces are what I found the most fascinating.

The Völklingen ironworks is a most imposing structure, especially when lit up at night. These arches are one of its most distincitve features and lend it a cathedral-like quality.
