Photos taken at the Messe (Convention Center)

The Frankfurt Messe was a major point of attraction for the Turnfest.
Many activities took place there including the Turnfest Gala,
 which we have in another photo section.
Almost every day of the Turnfest you could find information, exhibits, demonstrations,
judged competition in gymnastics, dance classes, physical fun tests, and so much more.
This place is immense and looks like it is still getting bigger.  In use throughout the year,
the Messe is home to many well known events including the Frankfurt Book Fair.
