There is war in Europe. And if you look a little further back in history, you realize that this has unfortunately always been the norm and that the peace we are familiar with was only a special case. The killing in Ukraine doesn't make it any more bearable. But it may make it even clearer how fragile peace or even Europe is. Europe as an idea. As a utopia. As a cultural and historical area of experience, which many today...

Various encyclopedias state that Waldstein Palace, also known as Wallenstein Palace, is the largest of its kind in Prague. Today the Senate of the Czech Republic meets there. It is easy to imagine that wonderful treasures glitter in the huge early Baroque building at the foot of Prague Castle.

Couples chill here, teenagers snap selfies, children flit through the aisles. Unlike in the museum, there are no framed pictures, instead Monet's works are projected onto large screens....
For weeks announced the great Richard Avedon exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum, Fifth Avenue, New York. Anticipation for weeks. So go there on the first day, enter through the sublime main entrance and continue straight away, climbing the majestic main staircase, two steps at a time.
