Budapest: The New Paris of the 20s?
Ever since I can remember, I’ve been hearing places spoken about as “just like Paris of the 1920s.” When I first visited Prague in 1992, more than one person used that phrase to describe the city that was so recently free of Communist rule and seemed absolutely full of young artists, students, and musicians. Many of the new “Paris of the 1920s” locations are in Eastern Europe, and although Prague still tops the list of cities that get that moniker, Budapest is no stranger to that description, either. In fact, some take it a step further and say Budapest is like Prague – which is, in turn, like the Paris of the 20s – only they also say Budapest is much cheaper.

In Caravaggio’s footsteps: exploring Rome through his art
Italy is very lucky culturally because of its many artistic treasures. In a large city such as Rome, there is often too much to see in a short period of time. A great way to explore the city is to focus on particular artists whose works can be seen in the city while also giving you a chance to see a good portion of the city. For example, you could walk around Rome and see all of Bernini’s fountains, sculptures and buildings, or, as is the topic of this post, walk around Rome and see a good many paintings by the famous Caravaggio while seeing a great deal else, too!

Gain a new Perspective at Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton
In a rare combination of ‘Perspectives’ from visual artistry and architecture, Camille Henrot and Odile Decq aim to uncover space and the world from a twofold view; while Henrot uses her artistic background to explore the inauthenticity of objects, travel and its misunderstandings, Odile presents a challenge to our perspective by creating impressions of depth and horizon where really there is none. The meeting of these two minds, a visual artist and an architect allow us to see our destination as more than just a place but rather an opportunity to look at things from new perspectives.
