Our favourite things, Photography

from 26th March – 6th September 2010

Art and Culture

I have to admit that before today I have never hear of Meroë, but a quick enquiry on the web shows that it’s a city discovered by French explorer Frédéric Cailliaud in 1822.

Quai Branly museum, 9th March – 23rd May 2010

Art and Culture

Meijer de Haan, the Hidden Master, an exhibition at the Musée d’Orsay from 16th March – 20th June 2010

Art and Culture

Although the painter Meijer de Haan (1852-1895) is mainly known for the often mysterious portraits of him painted by his ‘friend’ Paul Gauguin, his body of work, started in his native Holland, then continued mainly in France, remains largely unknown….
