Is it a brand of something? or actually museums. Another word, can anybody tell me what is Wallstreet-Lampen. Is it a brand of lamp?
Thanks
Tan
English translation:museums, etc.
Explanation:
As regards Wallstreet-Lampen - it depends on the context. It could also be a certain kind of desk lamp (usually with a brass base and a glass lampshade in green, which got somehow associated with Wallstreet).

Museen & Co.


Explanation:
It appears to be a company name, since the "& Co." always follows a company name and the "Co." stands for "compagnon" (French), which is a standard term used in the German language.
