A Random Walk in Buenos Aires

Locations
I like Buenos Aires. I have been coming here for more than 30 years, but the city never fails to amaze me. A building, a nice balcony, some stucco front decoration. A demonstration, a few business suits, or skimpily dressed women in summer, barely covering the essentials. The best way to enjoy it is by [...]

34. the Memento Park

Blog entries, Gallery
The Memento Park is a must-see, when in Budapest. It contains a raft of discarded sculptures from the communist era. In the category ‘rareties’ the Memento Park, in the outskirts of Budapest, scores pretty high. Already at the entrance we are being treated by communist music meant to uplift the worker’s spirit. Is puts us [...]

Boijmans in Ahoy

Gallery
A unique drive-thru exhibition in Rotterdam, and a great experience (August 2020) Museum Boijmans vand Beuningen, Rotterdam’s foremost arts museum, is closed for renovation until 2026. The large Rotterdam events hall Ahoy had to cancel all large scale events because of Corona. And then somebody came up with the bright idea to organise a drive-thru [...]

62. the detour

Blog entries
Time is running out, but we decide to make a detour to Huaraz anyhow, for the mountain scenery of the Cordillera Blanco and a unique sculpture museum

Facing Fear in Museum De Fundatie

Gallery
The exhibition “Facing Fear” in the Dutch Museum De Fundatie brought together the sculptures of Alberto Giacometti and Lynn Chadwick. The connection, according to the curator, is the fundamental fear that controlled daily life in the post-war 1950s and 1960s, fear for a worldwide nuclear disaster. Perhaps. For the casual visitor of the exhibition this [...]

Blog entries

Datong

Locations
Buddhist caves and temples light up the surroundings of coal capital Datong Quite a few cities in China have been a capital of some dynasty at some stage, and Datong is not different. In fact, it was a capital in 4th and 5th Century AD, and again in the 10th Century. But present day Datong, [...]

Castle Nijenhuis of the Museum De Fundatie

Gallery, Locations
As the second location of Museum De Fundatie, Castle Nijenhuis provides a further glimpse of the permanent collection, as well as an exciting and varied sculpture garden

01. Chandigarh

Articles
The relatively modern, planned city of Chandagarh is actually a bit boring, a bit sterile for an Indian town; but, it has the Rock Garden!

The National Museum, Jakarta

Gallery, Locations
One of the gems of Jakarta is the National Museum, located in Central Jakarta, opposite the MONAS (National Monument) in Merdeka Square. The museum is focused on what is important in Indonesian culture and history. The inner courtyard is full, too full, of stone sculptures with a Hindu/Buddhist origin, from the largely Javanese and Balinese [...]
