Das Palais Barberini (früher meist "Palast Barberini" genannt) wurde auf Befehl von König Friedrich II. von Preußen (Friedrich der Große) als repräsentativer Abschluss des Alten Markts nach dem Vorbild des Palazzo Barberini in Rom gebaut. Jedoch das Haus war nie ein Palast. Die monumentale Fassade war nur eine Kulisse, hinter sich zwei normale Mietshäuser befanden. Die äußere Fassadengliederung hatte keinen Bezug zur inneren Raum- und Stockwerksaufteilung, sodass in manchen Stockwerken die Fenter sich kurz über dem Fußboden oder unter der Decke befanden. Erst ab Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden die beiden Häuser zusammengelegt und umgebaut. Seit dem 20. Jahrhundert war das Gebäude dann Sitz städtischer Behörden. Ende des 2. Weltkriegs wurde das Palais Barberini schwer beschädigt und brannte aus, danach wurde es wie die umgebenden Bauten abgetragen. Nach 2010 ließ der Unternehmer Hasso Plattner das Gebäude als Museum wieder aufbauen, in dem er Werke aus seiner Privatsammlung und Wechselausstellungen zeigt. Als erste Ausstellung ist seit dem 23. Januar 2017 die beeindruckende Schau "Impressionismus. Die Kunst der Landschaft" mit Werken von Monet bis Caillebotte zu sehen.
The former Barberini Palace was built by order of King Frederick II (Frederick the Great) of Prussia who wanted a representative building to complete the Old Market. The exterior design is inspired by the Palazzo Barberini in Rome. But it never was a Palace, despite its popular name. The monumental façade covered two separate apartment houses whose interior design had no relation to that of the exterior. The different floors were not nearly as high as suggested by the windows so that there were rooms with part of a window just over the floor or under the ceiling. Only around the middle of the 19th century the two houses were united and remodeled. Early in the 20th century the city bought the building using it to accomodate public services. At the end of World War II the Barberini Palace was destroyed and later demolished along with the ruins in its surrondings. In the years after 2010 the entrepeneur Hasso Plattner bought the property in order to build a replica of the historic building to house a modern museum for his private collection and temporary expositions. The first exposition, inaugurated in January 2017, unites an impressive number of paintings of Monet, Caillebotte, Renoir and other french artists under the title "Impressionism. The Art of Landscape".
Over a 5-day period, Paramahamsa Vishwananda inaugurated a grand temple in Kircheim, Germany, dedicated to Vitthala and Rukmini - the Sri Vitthala Rukmini Shipivishta temple - making it the largest Vitthala temple outside of India.
With 2,000 people coming from all over the world to attend, the majestic celebrations were appreciated by everyone. The local pujari team was kept busy every moment, and one could sense the great dedication they had for their new service.
Guests were immersed in the reverent ceremonies of yajna (Vedic fire rituals) happening in multiple locations, abhishekam (Vedic bathing rituals), and mantra chanting, as well as joyful kirtan (singing), traditional Indian dance, tasty vegan food, and a deep sense of connection to the Divine that was felt throughout the festivities. Near the end, the stunning fireworks display over the lake seemed to express all the excitement, beauty, and awe this unforgettable event contained.

We had a police tower nearby. At night they'd shine a bright spot light on random sections of the crowd. Kind of felt like War of the Worlds. Oh, and it leans because it folds down for transportation...
So I spent the day in DC during the inauguration just allowing the day to take me where it would. Met a lot of nice folks on both sides of vastly differing opinions. All ballpoint. All in-situ. Very lucky with the weather. www.newsillustrator.com

III Małopolskie Dni Dziedzictwa Kulturowego, wrzesień 2001
Nieopodal dworku Włodzimierza Tetmajera w Bronowicach Małych położony jest dworek Rydlówka. Otacza go ogród z drzewami owocowymi oraz ozdobnymi krzewami. Dworek zbudował w 1894 r. Włodzimierz Tetmajer na gruncie wydzielonym z posiadłości jego teścia, Jacka Mikołajczyka. Był to drewniany, parterowy dom kryty strzechą, z sienią na osi i dwoma parami izb po bokach oraz z gankiem wejściowym od wschodu.
W tym dworku odbyło się słynne wesele poety Lucjana Rydla z Jadwigą Mikołajczykówną, siostrą Anny Tetmajerowej. Weselny, listopadowy wieczór 1900 r. uwiecznił Stanisław Wyspiański w dramacie Wesele.
W 1902 r. Włodzimierz Tetmajer kupił pofranciszkański dworek i przeniósł się do niego z rodziną. Swój dotychczasowy dom sprzedał w 1908 r. Lucjanowi Rydlowi, który rozpoczął jego przebudowę. Prace budowlane według projektu Józefa Pokutyńskiego zakończono w 1912 r. Dobudowana została piętrowa, murowana część, mieszcząca świetlicę, bibliotekę i gabinet, a cały dom pokryto dachówką.
Po wybuchu I wojny światowej Rydlowie musieli opuścić dworek, gdyż zajęli go oficerowie austriaccy. Właściciele powrócili do domu w 1915 r., trzy lata później zmarł Lucjan Rydel. W 1969 r. Helena Rydlowa wraz z córką Anną spisała umowę z PTTK o utworzeniu w dworku Muzeum Młodej Polski „Rydlówka”. Jego otwarcie nastąpiło 20 listopada 1969 r., w rocznicę wesela Lucjana Rydla. W latach 1985- -1989 przeprowadzono remont obiektu, pozostającego wciąż własnością rodziny Rydlów.
Młodopolskie muzeum mieści się w starszej części dworku i zajmuje cztery izby. Pierwsza z nich, tzw. weselna, została zrekonstruowana według didaskaliów dramatu Wyspiańskiego i jest dokładnym odtworzeniem dekoracji teatralnej do premiery sztuki. W izbie tanecznej, w której tańczono i gdzie odbywały się oczepiny, umieszczono pamiątki związane z rodziną Rydlów. Znajduje się tutaj m.in. portret dawnego gospodarza domu i bohatera weselnego dramatu, Lucjana Rydla, namalowany przez Stanisława Wyspiańskiego. W alkierzu prezentowane są pamiątki i zdjęcia uczestników wesela, a w świetlicy urządzono galerię młodopolskiego malarstwa. Pokój ten znajduje się w dobudowanej przez Rydla części, dawniej mieścił jego pracownię oraz bibliotekę. Pokazano tutaj obrazy takich artystów, jak Włodzimierz Tetmajer, Jan Stanisławski, Wincenty Wodzinowski czy Henryk Uziembło.

Rydlówka Manor
in Kraków
In Bronowice Małe, near Włodzimierz Tetmajer’s manor, is another one named Rydlówka. It is surrounded by a garden–orchard with picturesque shrubbery. Włodzimierz Tetmajer had the manor constructed in 1894 on the grounds leased from his father-in-law, Jacek Mikołajczyk. It was a wooden, single-storey thatched cottage, with a hall in the axis, two pairs of rooms on either side, and a front porch to the east.
This manor witnessed the famous wedding of poet Lucjan Rydel to Jadwiga Mikołajczykówna, sister of Tetmajer’s wife, Anna. That November evening, in 1900, was immortalised by Stanisław Wyspiański in his famous play entitled The Wedding.
In 1902 Włodzimierz Tetmajer bought the manor previously owned by the Franciscans and moved in with his family. He sold his former dwelling to Lucjan Rydel in 1908, and the new owner took upon himself to refurbish the manor. Reconstruction works, conducted according to Józef Pokutyński’s design, were completed in 1912. A two-storey brick section was added, housing a day-room, a library and a cabinet. The entire roof was covered with tiles.
When the first world war broke out, the Rydel family was forced to abandon the house, which had been appropriated by Austrian officers. The owners returned home in 1915, yet Lucjan Rydel passed away only three years later. In 1969, Helena Rydlowa and her daughter Anna signed a contract with the Polish Tourist Organisation PTTK to establish the Rydlówka Museum of Young Poland (Młoda Polska). The Museum was inaugurated on 20th November 1969, on the anniversary of the historical Lucjan Rydel’s wedding. From 1985 to 1989 the building, remaining the property of the Rydel family, underwent renovation.
The Młoda Polska museum is located in the oldest part of the manor, and consists of four chambers. The first, the so-called ‘Wedding chamber’, was reconstructed according to the stage directions of Stanisław Wyspiański to The Wedding – it is an exact reconstruction of the mise-en-scene during the first-night performance. In the dance room, where dances and traditional marriage ceremonies were performed, Rydel family memorabilia can be seen – among the artefacts, a pastel portrait of the former host and the protagonist of the play, Lucjan Rydel, by Stanisław Wyspiański. In the corner room we find photographs and other mementoes of the guests of the famed wedding party more than 100 years ago, and in the day room, a small gallery of paintings from the period. The latter room is part of the extension introduced by Rydel, once housing his cabinet and library, and today lined with works by Włodzimierz Tetmajer, Jan Stanisławski, Wincenty Wodzinowski, Henryk Uziembło.
