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 [...]

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 [...]

Miro in York

Gallery
Joan Miro sculptures in the York Sculpture Park, UK Even without a special Miro sculpture exhibition, the York Sculpture Park is a delightful place to spend a few hours (or less, when it rains cats and dogs, which is what it did when we were there in September 2012). An inside gallery shows contemporary sculptures [...]

Kroller-Muller Museum

Locations
A delightful, perhaps under-appreciated museum in the east of The Netherlands, definitely worth a visit.
