Museum van Bommel van Dam, the museum for modern and contemporary art in North Limburg, is presenting an anniversary exhibition this fall of the realistic painter Evert Thielen (1954), born in Venlo. For over 50 years, he has been making extremely detailed paintings and meter-high polyptychs with self-made paint and gives his own twist to classical genres.

"I thank you, God, for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes."

As a kid in the early '60's I knew it as the Jefferson Memorial. We'd get to visit it on school trips. Hadn't been there since I was a kid.
When I drove up, I didn't recognize it. It was modern. What happened? Only when I drove around behind the new building did I find my old Jefferson Memorial. They had modernized the front and renamed it the Missouri History Museum.
They have an ongoing exhibit on the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, so I had to see it.
I also drove around Forest Park and will include a few shots from that, including the area that was once occupied by multiple palaces that were torn down after the end of the World's Fair. But you can visualize what it once was like.
More photos will follow, as I add them.

The Queen Elizabeth II Great Court is a covered square at the centre of the British Museum. It was designed by the engineers Buro Happold and the architects Foster and Partners. The Great Court opened in December 2000 and is the largest covered square in Europe. The roof is a glass and steel construction, built by an Austrian steelwork company with 1,656 uniquely shaped panes of glass. At the centre of the Great Court is the Reading Room vacated by the British Library, its functions now moved to St Pancras. The Reading Room is open to any member of the public who wishes to read there.
The museum is dedicated to human history and culture. Its permanent collection, numbering some 8 million works, is among the largest and most comprehensive in existence and originates from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginnings to the present.
