Jan 20th, 2019: H. R. Giger Bar

xoxoxoBruce · 01-20-2019, 01:44 AM

The H.R. Giger Museum at Château St. Germain, Gruyères, Switzerland decided to open a bar in conjunction with the museum.
People visiting the museum who were not familiar with Giger’s work may ~~want~~ need a couple drinks afterward.

Quote:

The interior of the otherworldly environment that is the H.R. Giger Museum Bar is a cavernous, skeletal structure covered by double arches of vertebrae that crisscross the vaulted ceiling of an ancient castle. The sensation of being in this extraordinary setting recalls the tale of Jonah and the whale, lending the feel of being literally in the belly of a fossilized, prehistoric beast, or that you have been transported into the remains of a mutated future civilization.

The decor is a reflection of the work on display in the museum.
It looks a little like mammal bones but that's just a coincidence... right?

Or you shouldn’t have taken the brown acid.

Feels like the helm of a Klingon Bird of Prey.

Or the set of one of the Alien movies.

And I thought Hieronymus Bosch paintings were weird.

That place elevates 'weird' to a whole new level.
