Rome - Galleria Spada

Near the Tiber and Ponte Sisto in Rome, hidden in small streets and easily passed by, is the Galleria Spada located in a very grand and beautiful Palazzo. It holds an art collection especially dedicated to Old Masters and Italian art. There are several rooms to explore and the paintings are arranged in a traditional way. The cabinet feels historical and that is also the intention of this place, one feels like fallen out of time like in many sights in Rome. Outside in a small backyard you can also explore Borrominis secret garden. The Galleria Spada is a secret jewel in Rome for people who do not like mass tourism.

Rome - The Pantheon

Last summer in August I had the chance to visit Rome and its attractions. Here are impressions of the Pantheon in the late afternoon. It is free to enter and the light is magical. Fascinating to be able to stand in a building “almost as old as time”.

Weilburg

On the Easter weekend I was in Weilburg for a few hours. The town is situated on a mountain surrounded by a steep rock face and water in a valley. On top of the mountain sits a great Renaissance and Baroque complex. It is completely preserved and inside the premises are to be visited with complete furniture. Especially recommended is a guided tour of the many wings of the castle, there are real treasures and an orangery with deceptively painted wall tiles and very beautiful Renaissance murals. The facility is located in the middle of the city very nice. Also recommended is the visit to the Mining Museum and City Museum opposite. They have many old first editions and in the Mining Museum, a great deceptively real tunnel has been created underground, which leaves one astonished.

South Korea - The National Museum of Korea

I do not know how to describe how impressed I was with the National Museum of Korea. After a short night, I immediately urged my sister on culture. I'm studying museology, and what better way than looking at the National Museum of Korea right now?

Berlin - Altes Museum

In the spring I was with my twin sister on the Museum Island. I always try to look at a museum when I'm in their city. The cultural landscape there is just wonderful - and I as a budding museologist must take as many good museums in Germany as possible.
