There has been a settlement at Kyrenia since the 10th century BC but the harbour today was influenced mostly by the Venetians. When they gained control of Cyprus in 1489, the Venetians fortified the island against possible invasion by the Ottoman Empire.
At that time Kyrenia was the most important port on the northern Cyprus coastline, a little too close to the mainland for the Venetian’s comfort. So, they built impressive defences for the town, although when the Ottoman invasion did come in 1571, the Venetians gave up without a fight!
However, the first major castle at Kyrenia was constructed by the Romans and subsequently fortified by the Byzantines. The Byzantine structure of four towers linked by walls was later strengthened and enlarged by the Lusignans.
As soon as the Venetians acquired Cyprus, they were paranoid about losing it to the rapidly expanding Ottoman Empire. With the mainland only miles away and the Ottomans gaining strength every year, the Venetians set about fortifying Cyprus. Kyrenia Castle’s walls were greatly enlarged and made thicker to withstand possible artillery attacks and to resist any siege. The Venetians replaced the simple drawbridge entrance with an elaborate protected gatehouse as seen today and retained the Byzantine 12th century church of St George.
Today, the somewhat time-scarred Venetian castle of Kyrenia guards over the harbour like a benevolent grandfather, whilst the robust Tower marks the entrance to this little harbour of calm. The long, thin breakwater juts out into the sea like a long, crooked finger, beckoning in weary sailors past the Marine Martyr’s Monument situated opposite the harbour entrance. The Custom House still dominates the west corner of the harbour, commanding an excellent view of any boats entering Kyrenia harbour. Originally a chain gate was stretched across the old harbour entrance from here to the Tower, preventing enemy ships from forcing their way in.
The fortress and harbour are a popular tourist attraction, the harbour being one of the coolest places to be in Northern Cyprus in the height of summer and with good reason… sea breezes mix with cooler air from the nearby mountains, creating a great place to escape from the heat and dust of Nicosia. Needless to say, Kyrenia harbour is always busy in summer, its cafés packed with visitors and locals alike enjoying the unique atmosphere. You’ll need to get there early if you want to bag a waterside table for either lunch or a romantic evening dinner beside the water’s edge. Once you’ve found a table, you will understand another reason why the harbour at Kyrenia is so popular… it is simply stunning because of its elegant horseshoe shape, providing almost every café table with a great view over the water.
The restaurants and cafés themselves are as historic as their surroundings, being housed in old carob storage warehouses. At one time, carob beans were a major export for Cyprus, sold all over the world as a substitute for chocolate. Now the warehouses bustle with life again as waiters dash to and fro, bringing you a cold beer, some nibbles, a cake, a Turkish coffee, whatever you need to relax. Like most great café locations around the world, Kyrenia harbour is a place where you should sit, savour, and enjoy. The harbour restaurants are very popular in the evening and serve an extensive range of traditional Turkish and international cuisine.

Coat, 1920-30
Probably by Emilie Flöge
Extraordinary sleeves, one longer than the other, are a feature of this remarkable kimono-style coat. The garment, constructed from strips of black and white cotton satin, is believed to have been designed by Emilie Flöge. She was part of the Viennese avant-garde and a life-long friend of artist Gustav Klimt, who collected Japanese art. In 1904 Flöge opened a fashion house, Schwestern Flöge, with her sisters Helene and Pauline.

Kimono: Kyoto to Catwalk
(February to October 2020)
This exhibition will present the kimono as a dynamic and constantly evolving icon of fashion, revealing the sartorial, aesthetic and social significance of the garment from the 1660s to the present day, both in Japan and the rest of the world.
The ultimate symbol of Japan, the kimono is often perceived as traditional, timeless and unchanging. Kimono: Kyoto to Catwalk, the UK's first major exhibition on kimono, counters this conception, presenting the garment as a dynamic and constantly evolving icon of fashion.

This is the way to the Casino at Resorts World Sentosa. I love this architecture so much.. It influences you to a large extent, the actual entrance is still far, but it induces the mood already.. It tempts you to "- - GO GAMBLE - -"
All you need is to be strong not to get tempted! They charge $100 for locals to even go see the dreamland inside, leave alone gambling! Sigh!!! Have fun all you tourists!
I envy you guys! But someday when I have enough money to lose, I will sneak in there n try my luck! ;-P
I did not even think of the angle or symmetry or anything else when I clicked this.. I was in another world! :D
Suit, tie and shoes (geta), 2016, Thom Browne
This suit by Thom Browne takes inspiration from kimono primarily through its imagery. The debt to Japanese historic dress is also seen in the way the design moves across the whole surface of the ensemble. For the catwalk presentation of the collection, models stood inside kimono with their arms outstretched on bamboo stands. They were then individually released, revealing suits embellised with Japanese motifs and styled with geta (shoes).
Kimono ensemble, 2016-17, Hirayama Yoshihide
Hirayama is inspired by modernist art movements and British rock music. He uses digital design skills to explore new possibilities for kimono. His brand, Modern Antenna, is known for its bold, geometric, ink-jet printed designs. Their obi, woven by textile artisans in the Nishijin textile area of Kyoto, are equally graphic. The 'Union Jack' design is one of the most popular.

Mirrors and Masks (2013–15)
A number of works in Kader Attia's solo exhibition The Museum of Emotion explore the still under-acknowledged influence of African art on the trajectory of Western art history.
Attia made the first mask in his series Mirrors and Masks in 2009, after visiting the exhibition Picasso and the Masters at the Grand Palais, in Paris. Although the exhibition included works by Western artists known to have influenced Picasso, Attia was shocked to find that it did not include any African masks, another well-known influence on the artist.
The work he made as a response – a wooden mask covered with shards of broken mirror – reflects the viewer back in fragments, or in Attia's words, ‘shows everybody who looks at it a Cubist portrait of themselves.’

Kader Attia: The Museum of Emotion
(February-May 2019)
Kader Attia’s first UK survey exhibition traces several strands of the artist’s work from the past two decades.
Defining himself as an activist as well as an artist, Attia has over the past twenty years set out to create artworks that engage our capacity for thinking as well as feeling, and provoke what he calls a ‘real, fundamental dialogue’ about the world in which we live.
In sculptures, installations, collages, videos and photographs that move ‘back and forth between politics and poetry’, Attia inventively explores the ways in which colonialism continues to shape how Western societies represent and engage with non-Western cultures, and offers a passionate critique of modern Western systems of control that define everything from traditional museology to the design of modernist social housing.
A key group of works in The Museum of Emotion engage with the idea of repair as both a physical and symbolic act. These include objects ‘repaired’ by the artist using techniques and materials employed in certain non-Western cultures, as well as videos and large-scale installations that explore the way in which repair relates to psychological as well as physical injury, and to collective as well as individual trauma.
In The Museum of Emotion, Attia transforms detailed research into compelling works of art, and at the same time probes the ways in which the museum itself might be transformed into a forum for emotional response, capable of eliciting, exploring and even harnessing strongly held feelings of anger, sorrow, joy and grief.
