View of the 1867 Exposition Universelle
Artist: Édouard Manet
The 1850s onwards witnessed an explosive growth in the number of so-called World’s Expositions (or World’s Fairs), and in 1867 France held the largest one yet. The exposition occupied the entire Champ de Mars in Paris, to where spectators thronged from the whole world. Édouard Manet was excluded from the exposition’s official art programme, and he therefore erected his own exhibition pavilion on a height on the right bank of the Seine, adjacent to Trocadero, from where one had a magnificent view of the exposition grounds.
Manet’s main interest in this painting, however, was not the world’s exposition itself, and it serves more as a backdrop for the scattered figures and groups of the foreground; among these figures we can identify Leon Koella Leenhoff, the son of Mme Manet, as the young boy walking a dog. Rather than presenting a unifying or overarching narrative, the painting illustrates the pulsating, fragmentary diversity of modern life in the city. Manet presumably used a number of individual studies when executing the painting, though any such studies seem to be lost now.
Manet chose to abandon the painting while it was still a sketch, as a more urgent event demanded his attention: the execution of the French-backed Emperor Maximilian in Mexico in June 1867. The painting was sold for a relatively modest sum (as it was unfinished) at the auction following Manet’s death. For a while it was owned by the prominent Manet collector Auguste Pellerin, before becoming available again on the Parisian market during the First World War, when it was acquired by the Norwegian shipowner Tryggve Sagen. The picture was subsequently purchased by the Friends of the National Gallery.

On 11 June 2022 the new National Museum opened in Oslo. This is the largest museum in the Nordics. The new museum now consists of the collections of the former National Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Norwegian Museum of Decorative Arts and Design.
The new museum has a permanent exhibition of about 6 500 objects. Design, arts and crafts, fine art as well as contemporary art will be exhibited alongside each other. As such, the permanent exhibition highlights interesting connections between different collections that previously have been on show at three different museums. Additionally, audiences will be able to see the most famous paintings by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, including The Scream (1893) and Madonna (1894).
The building was designed by Kleihues + Schuwerk Gesellschaft von Architekten, with emphasis on dignity and longevity over sensationalist architecture. Great care was given to achieve a balance with the museum’s surroundings and the existing monuments in the area, such as Oslo City Hall and Akershus Fortress.
The most eye-catching feature of the new museum is the large, illuminated exhibition hall on top of the building. It will be used for temporary exhibitions.
The rooftop terrace offers a unique view of the inner Oslo fjord. The square in front of the main entrance has become an urban meeting place, with benches and a café that invites you in to take a rest.

Er mee op Schiphol rondlopen is in het huidige tijdsgewricht misschien niet erg slim, maar deze sprekend op een handgranaat lijkende vrucht is toch ècht volkomen ongevaarlijk.
De pitaja (ook wel bekend als pitahaja of drakenvrucht) is de vrucht van verschillende cactus-soorten, vooral van de geslachten Hylocereus en Selenicereus. Deze planten komen van nature voor in Mexico, Midden-Amerika en Zuid-Amerika. Ook worden ze gekweekt in Zuidoost-Azië in landen als Indonesië, Maleisië, Vietnam, Thailand en het zuidoosten van China en Taiwan.
