Street art in Lisbon: the best eye-catching pieces from the 'Soul of the Castle' exhibition – Camilla Watson
Street art Lisbon is well-known for its scene, and the 'Soul of the Castle' exhibition is a perfect showcase for some of the best pieces in the city. The exhibition features work from a range of local and international artists, all of whom have their own unique style. From bright and bold murals to more subtle pieces, the street art on display is sure to capture your attention.
Tumblr media
 street art can be used to brighten up an area and inject life into a cityscape. It can also be used to communicate a message or tell a story. For example, one of the pieces featured in the exhibition is a mural by Portuguese artist Vasco Gargalo. The mural depicts a young girl holding a bunch of flowers, with the words 'saudade' (a Portuguese term for nostalgia or longing) written across her chest. This mural perfectly captures the feeling of saudade that many people experience when they think about Lisbon.
Street art Lisbon is such an important form of expression because it allows people to connect with their city in a unique and personal way. It also has the power to transform a space, making it more inviting and visually appealing. Whether you're strolling through Lisbon's streets or looking.

#been thinking a lot lately about something that happened over the weekend#the wedding was gorgeous it was a wonderful weekend it meant so much to be there and everything went really well#but there was a moment that hasn't sat right with me since#one of the wedding traditions we did was the groom and his family dancing to the mandapam where the wedding would take place#and the bride's family waits there to greet him#this wedding was held outside of lisbon in an area that was part hotel part tourist location so members of the public could see us#and as we the bride's family walked over to the place we needed to be to meet the groom and his family#these white tourists started taking pictures of us in our wedding outfits and whispering to each other#and then decided to come up to us and shove their phones in our faces#demanding photos with us#and i was just like. have never felt like more of a museum exhibit in my life#no 'i love your outfits' or anything just phones in our faces and the expectation of us to pose for pictures#we were just people attending a wedding not exotic creatures to treat like that#and i think this is a microcosm of the experiences of a lot of asian people worldwide#exotic creatures that aren't seen as human beings#exhibits that belong in museums that you want to take photos with#but people that are rarely listened to#rarely seen beyond our cultural traditions that people don't genuinely want to learn about anyway#i am all for cultural appreciation#but it's not appreciating my culture to be treated like a zoo attraction instead of a human being lol#i wasn't sure if i wanted to say something but it's aapi month in the us so i thought i'd just say#please think before you act please be respectful#treat us as people#we have so much love for our cultures and we'd love to share it but..... not like this lol#ask questions i am always open to answer#i don't like being grabbed and having a camera shoved in my face to be in some white tourist's photo#so they can show off the indian wedding they witnessed#neha rambles

Lisbon, the captivating capital of Portugal, has secured two prestigious accolades, solidifying its position as a premier European destination. At the recent 4th edition of the World MICE Awards held in Berlin, Lisbon was voted Europe's Best MICE Destination for the first time. This recognition coincides with the city's triumph at the 31st European edition of the World Travel Awards, where it was named Europe's Best Urban Destination in 2024. A Magnet for Meetings and Events The MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) industry plays a pivotal role in Lisbon's economic landscape. The city's recent recognition as Europe's Best MICE Destination highlights its growing prominence in the international event sector. With over 2,251 events held in the past year alone, attracting more than 592,178 participants, Lisbon has become an undeniable force in the European MICE industry. Several factors contribute to Lisbon's success in this domain. A privileged location on the Iberian Peninsula offers excellent accessibility for international travelers. Modern and versatile infrastructure provides a solid foundation for hosting events of all sizes and scopes. Cultural experiences abound, offering delegates a chance to delve into the city's rich heritage beyond the conference room. This captivating blend of practicality and cultural immersion makes Lisbon an "unavoidable choice" for event organizers across Europe, as stated by the Lisbon Tourism Association. Lisbon's impressive track record further strengthens its position. Since 2019, the city has consistently ranked within the Top Ten of the ICCA World Ranking, even reaching the coveted second-place position. This sustained success reflects the city's unwavering commitment to attracting and delivering exceptional experiences for international events. Lisbon: A City that Captures the Imagination Beyond the realm of MICE, Lisbon shines as a captivating urban destination. The city's charm lies in its historical heritage, evident in its vibrant neighborhoods and architectural wonders. Wander through the charming cobbled streets of Alfama, explore the majestic São Jorge Castle, or marvel at the Jerónimos Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Vibrant culture pulsates through Lisbon's veins. Catch a captivating fado performance, a traditional Portuguese music genre filled with soulful melodies and poignant lyrics. Delve into the world of contemporary art at galleries like MAAT, Lisbon's Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology. Immerse yourself in the city's welcoming atmosphere at local cafes, vibrant bars, and bustling markets. Diversity defines the Lisbon experience. Sample the city's renowned cuisine, a delectable fusion of fresh seafood, aromatic spices, and hearty stews. Explore the iconic azulejos, and intricately painted tiles that adorn buildings throughout the city, adding a splash of color to the urban landscape. Take in breathtaking panoramic views from atop Miradouro de Santa Luzia, or delve into the world of street art in neighborhoods like Mouraria. Lisbon effortlessly blends modernity with historical charm. Chic shops and trendy bars coexist with ancient landmarks, creating a dynamic cityscape. This unique blend caters to a wide range of travelers, making Lisbon a perfect destination for a romantic weekend getaway, a family vacation filled with cultural exploration, or a solo adventure for the curious explorer. The World of MICE and World Travel Awards The World MICE Awards, often referred to as the "sister event" of the World Travel Awards, are prestigious accolades that recognize excellence across the MICE industry. The awards annually acknowledge destinations, airlines, hotels, organizers, and infrastructure companies that consistently elevate the MICE experience. Being recognized by the World MICE Awards signifies a destination's exceptional capabilities in hosting a wide range of events, from small business meetings to large-scale international conferences. The World Travel Awards, on the other hand, encompass a broader spectrum of the travel and tourism industry. These awards recognize excellence in various categories, including airlines, hotels, destinations, and travel service providers. Winning a World Travel Award signifies a destination's overall appeal to travelers, encompassing its cultural offerings, accommodation options, accessibility, and overall visitor experience. Paula Oliveira, Executive Director of the Lisbon Tourism Association, emphasizes Lisbon's commitment to providing "unique and unrepeatable experiences" for event organizers and participants alike. The recent awards solidify Lisbon's position as a leading player in both the MICE and urban tourism sectors. FAQs: 1. What makes Lisbon stand out as a MICE destination? Lisbon offers a winning combination for event organizers: a convenient location, modern infrastructure, diverse cultural experiences, and a proven track record of hosting successful events. This blend of practicality and cultural immersion makes Lisbon an attractive choice for conferences, meetings, and exhibitions. 2. What kind of events are typically held in Lisbon? Lisbon's versatility caters to a wide range of events. From small business meetings and corporate retreats to large-scale international conferences and trade shows, the city offers the infrastructure and support to ensure a successful gathering. 3. Beyond events, what are some things to do in Lisbon? Lisbon offers a plethora of activities for leisure travelers. Explore the rich history, vibrant culture, and delicious cuisine. Wander through historic neighborhoods, visit iconic landmarks, catch a fado performance, or simply relax and soak up the city's welcoming atmosphere. 4. How can I learn more about planning an event in Lisbon? The Lisbon Tourism Association website can be a valuable resource. They offer information on venues, event planning services, and resources for navigating the city's offerings. 5. What are some of the best times to visit Lisbon? Spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) offer pleasant weather, making them ideal times to explore the city. However, Lisbon enjoys a mild climate year-round, making it a viable destination throughout the year.

#Repost @iantdr ・・・ Posted @withregram • @experimentadesign Ian Anderson’s Atoms Vectors Pixels Ghosts (Stone)™️ comprises a set of 6 circular pieces representing highly pixelated images about ideas and fictions. These images seem to almost function as scans of dreams, resulting in abstract constructions engraved in stone. The pieces are elements related to the Oversteps project, which was created to fail while attempting to draw the perfect circle – an initiative developed by The Designers Republic, a design studio founded and headed by the author. The set was produced by the companies Marfilpe and Mocapor, who also supplied the stone - Azul Valverde Limestone.

Tiaras at Ajuda Palace
Last summer the new Royal Treasury Museum within Ajuda National Palace in Lisbon was opened to display the Portuguese Crown Jewels. The new museum was built using insurance money from the 2002 theft of some of the jewels when they were on exhibition in the Netherlands and was part of a larger restoration project of the palace. Find out more about visiting here.
youtube
The museum features several tiaras and a lot of other jewelry like the emerald bow brooch below that I just had to include.
Queen Maria Pia's Diadem of Stars by Estêvão de Sousa, 1868 with later alterations
Tumblr media
Queen Maria Pia's Laurel Wreath Tiara by Castellani, circa 1862 as a wedding gift from the city of Rome
Tumblr media
Queen Maria Pia's Coral Tiara, circa 1862 as a wedding gift from the city of Naples
Tumblr media
Queen Maria II's Sapphire Tiara, 1840s - This tiara is not part of the crown jewels and was sold at Christie's in 2021 for 1,948,558 USD but the new owner has loaned it to the museum.

1x19 of the mentalist: through a jisbon shippers eyes
I just rewatched this episode and WOW I have thoughts!!!!!
This episode is centered around a homicide of a producer, the movie he was producing, and the family of the producer (his wife and daughter).
Throughout the episode though (towards the end half) Jane and Lisbon actually get a couple... intimate and, what feel, intentional? scenes. So let's discuss.
The first scene I really want to talk about is the scene where Jane and Lisbon go to talk to the producers wife after they questioned her daughter. During their conversation, the wife brings up this point while talking about her daughter "We all make mistakes, but we have the power to give ourselves a second chance." This, as a viewer of the show as a whole and not just looking at this quote at surface level, is VERY on the nose about Jane, at least in my opinion. He obviously feels that, although he doesn't necessarily think he deserves a second chance, but he resonates with what she says at least in some way. I think the show capitalizes on that and what that second chance could mean for him when they intentionally show Jane look to Lisbon directly after that quote.
Tumblr media
Then the next part of this scene.... YALL KNOW THE PART.
Basically, Lisbon is talking to the wife about how they aren't going to charge her daughter and how she is on the way home, and the wife very clearly shows her thanks to Lisbon, and we see Lisbon smile and seemingly happily accept her thanks & explain how they are lenient when it comes to juvenile cases.
And then we just see the camera focus on Jane. We see the camera focus on Jane just staring and smiling at Lisbon with such a fondness and a softness that we rarely see/have seen with him, at this point in the show at least.
Tumblr media
Him looking at her like that... just WOW. It means so much to me in terms of their relationship and how it is something MORE than just coworkers, and ESPECIALLY more after that second chance line.
The thing that REALLY drives this point home though is what happens AFTER the fact. It's when Lisbon and the wife look back to Jane and he immediately hides the smile he just had on his face.
Tumblr media
THATS the important part. THATS what shows that it really meant something. He wouldn't feel the need to hide it if it was nothing. You don't hide something that means nothing. He let his mask slip. He let himself be actually happy in that moment.
Looking at Lisbon.
BECAUSE of Lisbon.
And that MEANS SOMETHING TO HIM.
SHE means something to him.
The next scene I want to talk about is the scene by the coffee machine. This scene is just so damn cute and it means so much to me. It's after Jane talks to the daughter again and he wants to talk to Lisbon about what he wants to do to solve the case. So he walks up to where she's at making her coffee...
And he just stands there.
He just stands there, glancing at her every couple of seconds, and she does the same, and they both just have these little smiles on their faces until Lisbon is finally like "What are you thinking?" and it's just so DAMN CUTE AND FLIRTY FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. LITERALLY JUST BECAUSE.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's just so incredibly wholesome and soft and I don't really know exactly WHAT it means but it MEANS something, and the fact this happened (not directly after but hopefully yall are understanding my train of thought, but like it happens afterwards in the same episode) after the previous scene I just talked about just makes it feel important to me. I feel like we see a sliver more of that happiness but specifically in the way I talked about before. & also, we know he likes to mess with her (exhibit a, the frog in the pilot) and I think that's become a joy of his and I think that plays a part here too, him messing with her just because. Its just so wholesome and innocent, and I love it.
To recap and try to gather and organize my thoughts, I think this scene further pushes along the narrative the scene I previously talked about showed, in my opinion ofc, which is the thought of a second chance for Jane, WITH Lisbon in mind (obviously when I say this I don't mean in a "they could've gotten together alot sooner" way, but in a "this is the first time we've really talked about a second chance & made Lisbon a part of that equation for him" way), it just is in a very subtle and sweet way. This scene at surface level has nothing to do with the second chance scene, but it carries over that same softness for seemingly no reason (except #tome its the reason im saying).
It's not meant to make them take a step or anything, but to just SHOW that there IS something there at all, to show that there are stairs there that potential steps could be taken on (hopefully you get my metaphor).
Now the last scene I want to talk about isn't even a jisbon scene but I feel like it's so important in terms of Jane and his journey and how that affects his feelings towards himself and, in turn, towards Lisbon or anyone else, or even just happiness.
It's the conversation between Jane and the wife. The wife talks about how happiness is something that is so hard to find, and that when you do, you need to hold onto it. For Jane, he associates this with his family and that happiness he lost, and you can see it all over his face.
Tumblr media
He is still so deep in his self hatred, his guilt, his mourning. He is truly still at the end of the day, just sad and not ready to allow himself to be truly happy. He can't be. And it's totally understandable.
He is at the beginning of his journey of healing at this point (and obviously revenge too but thats a WHOLE other conversation) and this conversation was so important to show that despite any subconscious feelings or suppressed brief moments of happiness, that second chance is not in actuality something that is obtainable for him right now.
He's not ready.
And that's okay.
But I think this episode shows it's not an impossibility. And it's shows a glimpse into what a second chance could look like for him.
