Giger Bar
More non-gaming bloggage here, couldn’t resist. One of the places I visited in Switzerland was Château St. Germain in Gruyères, a fantastic old castle which, strangely, also houses the Giger Museum. Nearby is the Giger Bar, a small bar which surrounds you with Giger’s designs. The seats, the walls, the windows, the floor, even the ceiling, all covered in stylings typical of the surealist artist with lightly sinister music completing the fantastic setting.

That is incredible. I didn’t know such a place existed! Some of his art is kind of creepy and sometimes fucked up, but one can’t help looking.

Yeah, some of his more twisted stuff is almost too weird but it’s hard not to like the dark, organic, ridged… coolness of much of his stuff. :)
