  1. #NGV in Melbourne does Relaxed Hours at the French Impressionism exhibition, with limited numbers. Glorious decor. Get to it if you can. These paintings shine in person and no reproduction does them justice.

  2. Themenheft der „Gens Nostra“ zu Einwanderung aus Deutschland

    Das Heft 4/2025 von „Gens Nostra“, der niederländischen Zeitschrift für Familiengeschichte, Genetik und Heraldik, ist aktuell mit dem Schwerpunkt „Immigratie vanuit Duitsland“ erschienen. Das Themenheft zu Einwanderung aus Deutschland in die holländischen Provinzen ist auch für die genealogische Forschung hierzulande interessant.

    Viele Niederländer haben Vorfahren aus deutschen Landen, denn seit dem […]

  4. It's been more than 24 hours and not a single one of you have liked my photos of the Bian Lian artist I posted. I am blaming the image rendering algorithm of the fediverse. Here goes..

  5. Went to the National Gallery of Victoria #NGV today and got to witness Bian Lian first time today.

    Was just mesmerised the whole time. Here are some of those incredible faces the artist wore.

  7. (FB has been showing me these in memories.)

    Four years ago, the National Gallery of Victoria had a exhibition of the terracotta army from Emperor Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum.

    (Left to Right, Top to Bottom. Quotes are from the on-site labels.)

    Armoured General, Qin Dynasty 221-207 BCE
    "This general, the largest of the terracotta warriors in the exhibition, has a distinguished beard and moustache and displays a stance of importance."

    Unarmoured infantryman, Qin Dynasty 221-207 BCE
    "We can clearly see that this figure has been reconstructed from many small broken parts. Of more than 2000 warriors unearthed to date, none have been discovered intact. It is speculated that shortly after their completion at the fall of the Qin dynasty, the victorious Han entered the terracotta warriors underground passages, smashed the contents and set the wooden passages on fire."

    Kneeling Archer, Qin Dynasty 221-207 BCE
    "This warrior is part of a battle formation of kneeling archers surrounding by standing archers that was discovered at the second-largest of the three terracotta army excavation pits."

    Civil Official, Qin Dynasty 221-207 BCE
    "In preparation for the afterlife, Emperor Qin Shihuang not only produced a terracotta army for his protection, but also ceramic administrators to look after government and civil affairs."

  8. The big #Pissaro show at the #NGV is so overwhelmingly beautiful and one of the best art "blockbusters" I've ever been to. Kudos to the curator who brought #IndiaMahdavi to design it. The visual and spatial dialogue between the two artists is stunning. By the final rooms I was weeping ...

  10. #Melbourne‘s famous #floralclock is just a #tram ride from the Central Business District, located in the #QueenVictoriaGardens.

    It’s always adorned with flowering colour and is definitely a go-to for tourists and locals alike.

    The location is perfect because it’s near #FlindersStreetStation, the #ArtsCentre and the #NGV and it’s nestled alongside our iconic #YarraRiver.

    There’s always plenty of picture snappers that visit this vibrant and popular tourist attraction.

    And what’s more, every picture taken is time stamped! 😁

  11. Im alittle conflicted by this paint job.

    I see it regularly and don’t know if I love it. Or just in ‘like’ 😁

    This is #HanoverHouse’ and the #BETA

    Their statement; “We are conscious consumers who seek meaning, yet the places where we shop are no longer fit for purpose. We want experiences rather than transactions, circularity instead of waste, the way forward not the past.

    BETA is a revolutionary testing ground exploring the future of retail space, programming and new business models. Real-time experiments are happening through a series of events that test new forms of dining, wellness, fashion and design outside retail’s traditional brick and mortar limits. A humble seven storey concrete office block, which until the late 1990s claimed to be Southbank’s tallest building, has been transformed into a dynamic lab of progressive retail experiences that honour individuality, diversity and creative expression”.

    I love their work though!

    It is located within the heart of #Southbank #Australia around the corner from the #ArtCentre #NGV and #CrownCasino.
