Originally called the “Music Museum and Grainger Museum”, the “Grainger Museum” is a small Streamline Moderne Art Deco building, built between 1935 and 1939, a repository of items documenting the life, career and music of the well known Australian composer, folklorist and pianist, Percy Grainger (1882 – 1961).

 

Built on one of Melbourne’s grand tree lined boulevards, Royal Parade in Parkville, the autobiographical museum was constructed in two stages between 1935 and 1939, on land provided for the purpose by the University of Melbourne. The Grainger Museum was designed by the staff architect of Melbourne University, John Stevens Gawler (1885 – 1978) through his architectural firm Gawler and Drummond. The building, built of brown clinker bricks is typical of Streamline Moderne design in Australia in the late 1930s, yet it also has undertones of the Arts and Crafts movement. It has very little detailing on the outside, with a severe arched entranceway, two windows featuring Art Deco grillework, a few decorative panels of brickwork (quite typical of John Gawler’s work) and the remaining windows consisting of glass bricks. The name of the museum appears above the main entranceway in stark Art Deco lettering made of cast iron which have been painted black. The museum is circular and features a small central courtyard accessed by two sets of French doors. The courtyard facades are detailed with decorative brickwork.

 

The Grainger Museum received input from Mr. Grainger in its design as well as its purpose, as well as funding provided by the composer. Mr. Grainger had contemplated establishing an autobiographical museum in the early 1920s, following the sudden suicide of his mother Rose, to whom he was very devoted. The museum contains large quantity of material from Mr. Grainger’s life, including art and furnishings from his home, musical instruments that he used, compositions, recordings, reformist clothing, published scores, field recordings, photographs, books and personal items belonging not only to Mr. Grainger, but also his mother. It also contains a curio case of whips that Mr. Grainger used in sadomasochist sexual acts which were in a trunk given to the museum with strict instructions that it was not to be opened until ten year after his death. The trunk also contained photographs of the composer after sessions of self flagellation. The museum also contains large amounts of material concerning some of his musical contemporaries, many of whom have fallen into obscurity. The Grainger Museum was officially opened in December 1938, and was staffed and maintained by Mr. Grainger throughout his life.

 

Sadly, the Grainger Museum suffered some initial setbacks with the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, when the building was used for storage for the duration, rather than its original purpose. The museum’s designs were also problematic, as the building was prone to leaks and required extensive waterproofing. The majority of objects were not put on public display until the 1950s when Mr. Grainger visited Australia with the intention of finishing his autobiographical project; something he failed to do as he set sail for his New York home with the task still incomplete. During the 1960s the Grainger Museum was opened to the public regularly for the first time and was sometimes used for concerts and musical workshops for jazz and other avant-garde music, which would have pleased Mr. Grainger, who sadly had died some five years before this eventuality. The Grainger Museum quietly closed its doors in 2003 for extensive renovation, restoration and conservation work. It reopened seven years later 2010, and has been open selectively ever since, showcasing Mr. Grainger’s life and works in a smart, well set out and discreet fashion.

 

Percy Aldridge Grainger was born in Brighton, Melbourne. He showed precocious talent in music, and at the age of 13 he left Australia to further his ability by attending the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt, Germany. In 1901 he moved to London, where with the assistance of his mother, he established himself as a successful society pianist, and developed a career as a concert performer and composer. During his time in London, he also collected original folk melodies and helped revive interest in British folk music in the early years of the 20th Century. Mr. Grainger left England in 1914, and moved to the United States, where he lived for the rest of his life, residing in White Haven, a suburb of New York with his mother, Rose, who was always his greatest supporter and exponent. Mr. Grainger took up American citizenship in 1918. After his mother committed suicide in 1922, he involved himself more with educational work, and created his own experimental and unusual musical compositions. He particularly enjoyed musical experiments with fantastic music machines that he imagined, and perhaps hoped, would supersede human interpretation one day. During this time, he also made adaptations of other composers' musical works. In 1926, while returning to America from a tour, he met Ella Ström, a Swedish-born artist, whom he married before an enraptured audience at one of his concerts at the Hollywood Bowl in 1928. Mr. Grainger already had a great interest in Nordic music, but his wife’s lineage only served to drive his passion for such music even more. As he grew older he continued to give concerts. He also revised and rearranged compositions of his own, preferring this to writing new music, of which he produced little. After the Second World War, he suffered ill health which reduced his productivity and activity in his passions, and he considered his career to be a failure. He gave his final concert in 1960, less than a year before his death. The piece of music with which Percy Grainger is most generally remembered is his pretty piano arrangement of the folk-dance tune “Country Gardens”.

 

The architectural firm of Gawler and Drummond was a prolific, though rather undistinguished firm that designed a range of domestic, industrial, commercial and church buildings. These include the McRorie house in Camberwell in 1916, the Fitzroy department store Ackmans Ltd in 1918, the Loch Church of England in 1926, the Korumburra Church of England in 1927, the Deaf and Dumb Society's church at Jolimont in 1929 and the Nyora Church of England in 1930. The Percy Grainger Museum is perhaps Gawler and Drummond’s most distinguished work.

 

The Grainger Museum was open as part of the 2014 Open House Melbourne Weekend.

The Davis and Davis Furniture Repository business went in to voluntary liquidation on 10th March 1983 having been trading since at least the mid 1920's.

The landmark clock bearing the Davis and Davis name was restored and fitted with an auto winder during 2008. It was originally installed at the 331 Cheriton Road premises in 1925 and was probably made about 10 years earlier than that by J.W. Benson of Ludgate Hill, London. I wonder if it was installed somewhere else prior to 1925?

El monestir de Sant Pere de Besalú fou edificat sobre l'antiga església de Sant Pere, Sant Pau i Sant Andreu sota l'auspici del Papat, cosa que l'alliberà de les pressions d'ordre polític. La fundació data del 977, per part del comte Miró Bonfill, i el 978 es porten les relíquies de Sant Prim i Sant Felicià, dos sants màrtirs romans.

 

Curiosament i a diferència del que habitualment es fa, la data de celebració de la festivitat a Besalú és el 24 de setembre que és la data d'arribada de les relíquies a la Vila, el més normal era celebrar la festivitat el 9 de juny que era la commemoració del dia del martiri dels Sants. Una altra curiositat és el fet que segons "L'ordre narbonensis" (ordre de Narbona), les Relíquies dels Sants estaven sobre l'altar l'endemà de la Consagració i a Besalú va passar al revés. L'església fou adscrita a Sant Víctor de Marsella per tal de crear congregació. L'adscripció durà 15 anys (de 1071 a 1086), període en el que l'església no tingué abat si no prior.

 

Quan el comtat va passar a dependre del de Barcelona, el monestir va viure el seu moment de màxima esplendor, ja que en absència del comte, l'abat era la personalitat amb més autoritat a la vila. A partir del segle XV el monestir començà a entrar en decadència, que s'agreujà amb la guerra del Francés, moment en que es destruí el claustre. Amb la desamortització de l'any 1835 va provocar que s'abandonés el monestir fins l'any 1908. Durant la guerra civil es va cremar part del mobiliari i de les pintures del segle XVIII, així com algunes escultures.

 

Avui en dia només queda en peu l'església i algunes dependències posteriors. Té planta basilical amb tres naus, creuer, deambulatori ricament decorat i un únic absis de grans dimensions, decorat exteriorment amb arcs cecs i un fris de dents de serra. Els arcs estan acabats amb diferents elements esculpits com caps humans i d'animals, motius vegetals i geomètrics. La nau central està coberta amb una volta de canó, mentre que les laterals tenen volta de quart de cercle. El deambulatori és l'element més destacat del temple, únic exemple del seu estil conservat a Catalunya, amb quatre parells de columnes geminades coronades per capitells i uns senzills cimacis. Aquestes esveltes columnes suporten cinc arcs de mig punt, mentre completen la decoració uns arcs cecs suportats per petites mènsules esculpides i dos frisos de dents de serra. Els capitells representen una gran varietat de motius: vegetals, animals i historiats, com el capitell de l'Epifania o el de la fugida a Egipte.

 

La façana principal sobta per la seva austeritat. Té un portal molt senzill amb dues fines columnes, on es recolza una arquivolta esculpida amb un motiu trenat. Els seus capitells estan esculpits amb motius vegetals, sobre els que hi ha un quadrúpede. El finestral que hi ha a la part alta de la façana, l'element que més sobressurt de la mateixa. Està formada per tres arcs de mig punt en degradació, amb una parella de columnes per banda, coronats per capitells, i sobre les arquivoltes, un arc adovellat. Fora del conjunt, a banda i banda de la finestra, se situen dues esferïdores figures de lleons mostrant-nos les seves dents. La decoració de les arquivoltes, d'exterior a interior, és la següent: en la primera, unes palmetes s'inscriuen dins de petits rombes que s'intercalen amb petits caps de personatges, en la segona, cintes ondulades s'entrecreuen, la tercera és simplement una motllura que imita una corda, i la quarta és un arc helicoïdal amb cintes. Pel que fa als capitells, a l'exterior esquerre podem veure caps de lleons, que devoren a les seves preses, de les que només veiem les potes. En el de més a la dreta veiem uns grius, als que un lleó mossega les ales. Els capitells interiors són de tipus vegetal, on veiem alguns caps d'animals. Però el més interessant de la decoració de la finestra està en els dos lleons que, encara que es representen simètrics, no són iguals.

Originally called the “Music Museum and Grainger Museum”, the “Grainger Museum” is a small Streamline Moderne Art Deco building, built between 1935 and 1939, a repository of items documenting the life, career and music of the well known Australian composer, folklorist and pianist, Percy Grainger (1882 – 1961).

The name of the museum appears above the main entranceway in stark Art Deco lettering made of cast iron which have been painted black. The museum is circular and features a small central courtyard accessed by two sets of French doors. The courtyard facades are detailed with decorative brickwork.

The museum also contains large amounts of material concerning some of his musical contemporaries, many of whom have fallen into obscurity.

He showed precocious talent in music, and at the age of 13 he left Australia to further his ability by attending the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt, Germany. In 1901 he moved to London, where with the assistance of his mother, he established himself as a successful society pianist, and developed a career as a concert performer and composer. During his time in London, he also collected original folk melodies and helped revive interest in British folk music in the early years of the 20th Century.

The piece of music with which Percy Grainger is most generally remembered is his pretty piano arrangement of the folk-dance tune “Country Gardens”.

 

The architectural firm of Gawler and Drummond was a prolific, though rather undistinguished firm that designed a range of domestic, industrial, commercial and church buildings. These include the McRorie house in Camberwell in 1916, the Fitzroy department store Ackmans Ltd in 1918, the Loch Church of England in 1926, the Korumburra Church of England in 1927, the Deaf and Dumb Society's church at Jolimont in 1929 and the Nyora Church of England in 1930. The Percy Grainger Museum is perhaps Gawler and Drummond’s most distinguished work.

 

The Grainger Museum was open as part of the 2014 Open House Melbourne Weekend.

The National Museum of the Philippines (Filipino: Pambansang Museo ng Pilipinas) is the official repository established in 1901 as a natural history and ethnography museum of the Philippines. The Museum of the Filipino People (Filipino: Museo ng Lahing Pilipino), is a component museum of the National Museum of the Philippines that houses the anthropology and archaeology divisions. It is located in the Agrifina Circle, Rizal Park, Manila adjacent to the main National Museum building which houses the National Art Gallery. The building formerly housed the Department of Finance. It also houses the wreck of the San Diego, ancient artifacts, and zoology divisions.

 

The building was originally designed as the public library by Ralph Harrington Doane, the American consulting architect of the Bureau of Public Works, and his assistant Antonio Toledo. Construction began in 1918 but was suspended several times because of lack of funds. When it was decided that the building should be used by the Legislature, the revisions of the plans was entrusted to Juan Arellano, then supervising architect of the Bureau. The building was inaugurated on 16 July 1926, and by then had cost four million pesos.

 

The building was part of Daniel Burnham's plan for the development of Manila. Upon its completion, the second, third, and fourth floors were occupied by the Senate and House of Representatives while the ground floor was occupied by the National Library.

 

The 1934 Constitutional Convention was held in this building. On its front steps Manuel L. Quezon was sworn in as President of the Commonwealth. The Legislative Building was a casualty during the bombing and shelling of Manila in 1945. It was reconstructed in 1946 following the original plans but with some revisions, such as the replacement of flat pilasters of the stately rounded engaged columns.

 

In mid-1996, the Senate of the Philippines moved out of the building. In 2003, renovation started to transform it into the National Art Gallery of the National Museum.
