Museums are opened again...Yippee! This is great news because I, just like many have missed viewing Art Exhibitions. Online Museum visits just didn't cut it for me, just like online concerts & simply anything else that normaly invokes some passion in me, these unfortunately just didn't appeal to me at all. This was my last museum visit before we went into another lockdown last year & this is one that I really enjoyed. 'Peter Lindbergh' (deceased 2019) was a world renowned Fashion...

Sports has had a great influence on Fashion in the past as we see more Designers creating sport inspired pieces. We not only see stars walking the red carpet in shorts, sneakers & jogging pants being office-appropriate but also Football coaches & their teams wearing custom-made suits. With approximately 150 articles of clothing, prints, posters, photographs & films, the Exhibition at the Museum für Kunst & Gewerbe Hamburg (MKG) attempts to shed light on the development of...

The Nairobi National Museum on Museum Hill was initiated in 1910 by a group of enthusiastic naturalists under the then East Africa & Ugandan Natural History Society who needed a place to keep & preserve their collections of various specimens. It's aim is to interpret Kenya's rich heritage & offers a one stop for visitors to sample the country's rich heritage both for education & leisure.

The 'Freilichtmuseum am Kiekeberg' is quite an interesting place to visit, with over 40 historical buildings which include farmhouses, Barns & workshops which are built in the same way as those between 1600 to the 1950's. There are several events that are held at the Museum & on this day, there was a big 'Tractor Show' where several Tractors were on display. Am not such a big fan of machines & locomotives but Hubby & my son were in heaven to see all the tractors. The museum is...

He came up with the idea to build the Ark as a way of telling the Biblical story of Noah not only to children but to adults too because he believed that most people don't know much about the wonderful Biblical stories anymore. The Ark's interior...

Who would have thought that attending an Exhibition all about 'Sneakers' would be so interesting. I am not exactly a 'Sneaker/Sport shoes Fan' even though i have to admit that they are the most comfortable shoes ever made. But walking through the Exhibition & reading all about the history & development of this 'Kult' in the last years was really impressive.
