"We visited the Female Artists of the Mougins Museum, in Mougins, a small village on a hill near Cannes. Full of exclusively female artists from Berthe Morisot in the 19th century and Frida Kahlo in the early 20th to contemporary figures such as Tracey Emin it houses an incredible collection of often overlooked art and artists. We visited on a rainy October day and it was remarkably quiet and calm. I particularly enjoyed the abstract works well worth a trip up the hill."
"Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder is a bit of a mouthful, but it is the best museum I have ever visited. Our Lord in the Attic is a hidden gem in the centre of Amsterdam and well worth a visit. Our Lord is a clandestine church originating after the Reformation when Catholics were no longer allowed to hold public holy masses. It enabled Catholics to worship, but only in private; thus creating an incredibly intimate and secretive experience. The canal house feels like a Tardis as you move from what seems like a labyrinth of rooms, all leading to what appears to be a doll's house church. A sliver of heaven in the middle of the red light district!"
The Female Artists of the Mougins Museum in Mougins features exclusively female artists from Berthe Morisot in the 19th century and Frida Kahlo in the early 20th century to contemporary figures such as Tracey Emin, housing an extensive collection of often overlooked works including notable abstract pieces. A rainy October day contributed to a quiet, calm atmosphere. Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder (Our Lord in the Attic) in Amsterdam is a hidden, clandestine church created after the Reformation to enable private Catholic worship, with a canal house layout resembling a Tardis that leads through a labyrinth of rooms to a doll's-house church. The Käthe Kollwitz Museum in Berlin contains an intimate, powerful collection of Kollwitz's prints, drawings, posters, sculptures and woodcuts that reflect her socialist beliefs and the intertwining of personal and political tragedies.
