Museo Histórico Nacional de Chile
National History Museum of Chile. Despite the location, some amazing pieces, the good intentions to make it enjoyable and the kindness of the staff, I left disappointed. After my visit, I ended with a mess in my head about the countries’ history and with no real certainty of what really…
Eckersberg – Fascination with reality
The Hamburger Kunsthalle uses to offer exhibitions about a diverse array of artists and themes. Faithful to this principle, it has prepared now a complete retrospective of a remarkable Danish artist of the first half of the 19th Century. Eckersberg – Fascination with reality is the first big…
MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts
Visiting this museum was a real pleasure, I loved it!!! The collection, the museographical concept of each section, the building, everything exceeded my expectations. As Applied Arts and industrial design are my personal interests, this museum is a paradise for me… and here I saw one of the most…

C’est la vie
The Paris of Daumier and Toulouse-Lautrec. Hamburger Kunsthalle. During July, the Hamburger Kunsthalle made some improvements on the permanent exhibition spaces. As the visitors could not visit the whole Kunsthalle, and had access only to the new building called Galerie der Gegenwart (with 2 temporary exhibitions), it was nonsense…
Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
Last July I was invited by a friend to stay in a small Danish town. Before my trip, he told me that we may visit the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, what gave me time to see its website (very complete and appealing)… after what I really wanted…
