After visiting the Louvre and Musée de l'Orangerie (see previous posts), I was able to round off my day's tour of Parisian galleries by visiting the Musée d'Orsay thanks to it being opening late, until 9:45pm, on Thursday evenings. Housed in a former Beaux-Arts train station built between 1898 and 1900, the Musée d'Orsay is an architectural masterpiece. Most importantly, it boasts a magnificent selection of paintings by my favourite artist, Monet. I was ecstatic beyond belief to get to see, for the first time ever, my second-favourite Monet - after his 'Water Lily Pond' - which is 'The Poppy Fields near Argenteuil'. (Contrary to what some visitors to my homes over the last 25 years have believed, the one I have on my wall is a £50 print, not the original at Musée d'Orsay which I reckon would be a bargain at even £500 million.) After having taken a thousand photos through the day at the three art galleries, I had 0% battery left on my phone and was relieved I managed to get someone to take a few pictures of me next to 'The Poppy Fields' before my phone died seconds later! See the world premiere of those 'The Monet Shot' (2023) pictures among the videos and photos below. . . . #musée #museedorsay #muséedorsay #dorsay #parisienne #orsay #parisvibes #musee #d'orsay #dorsay #paris #monetpoppyfields #museeorsay #francemuseum #photography #monetpoppy #museedorsay #orsaygallery #poppyart #museeparis #dorsaygallery #peinture #sculpture #wanderlust #monetphoto #monetpainting #parisjetaime #poppyfieldspainting (at Musée d'Orsay) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn2VKyKNajt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Free Virtual Museum Tours | MasterList

1. J Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles With more than 6,000 years worth of creative treasures, the Getty is one of the best places for art on the west coast of the US. Go from neolithic clay figures to Van Gogh’s Irises and Renoir’s La Promenade – just two of many artworks that feature in the virtual tour. As with several of our selection, Google Arts and Culture offers a “museum view” tool to look inside gallery spaces, with clickable artworks presenting further information. The Getty’s sunny sculpture plaza and garden terrace are worth adding to your digital trip, via another viewing platform, Xplorit. (https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/the-j-paul-getty-museum?hl=en) getty.edu 2. Vatican Museums, Rome Soaring vaulted ceilings, intricate murals and tapestries, the Vatican’s museums are creatively rich sites. Don’t forget to look up when exploring the seven spaces in the museum’s virtual tour (http://www.museivaticani.va/content/museivaticani/en/collezioni/musei/tour-virtuali-elenco.1.html), to gawp at a series of 360-degree images, including the Sistine Chapel. Wander around the rest of Vatican City with a You Visit tour that takes in Saint Peter’s Basilica and Square, complete with a tour guide narrating each interactive space. museivaticani.va 3. Guggenheim, Bilbao Frank Gehry’s sculptured titanium and steel building, on the banks of the Nervión River, is one of the world’s most distinctive art spaces. The interactive tour (https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/guggenheim-bilbao) takes viewers around its collection of postwar American and European painting and sculpture – Rothko, Holzer, Koons, Kapoor – and even down between the weathered curves of Serra’s Matter of Time (turn left at the entrance). guggenheim-bilbao.eus https://www.guggenheim-bilbao.eus/en/digital-experiences 4. Natural History Museum, London From the diplodocus to the dodo, botany to butterflies, giant crystals to specimens in jars … the Natural History Museum’s vast collection has long been a favourite of both Londoners and tourists. Get lost in the corridors and gallery spaces – one treat is Dippy the dino, who despite recently going on tour still makes an appearance in the entrance hall in this interactive online guide (https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/natural-history-museum) . nhm.ac.uk 5. Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam This grand museum has a vast collection of art and historical objects across 80 galleries. A 10-year renovation project was completed in 2013, transforming the space and combining elements of 19th-century grandeur with modern lighting and a new glass-roofed atrium. The interactive tour (https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/rijksmuseum) helps viewers get up close to every brush stroke by Vermeer, Rembrandt and other Dutch masters while exploring the Great Hall and beyond. rijksmuseum.nl 6. National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, South Korea There are several sites making up this museum: the main gallery in Gwacheon and branches in Deoksugung, Seoul and Cheongju. The virtual tours (https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/national-museum-of-modern-and-contemporary-art-korea) explore an inspiring mix of print, design, sculpture, photography, new media and other large-scale installations. From Joseph Beuys to Warhol and Nam June Paik, the collection includes an international lineup of established artists, contemporary Korean artworks and emerging names. mmca.go.kr 7. Musée d’Orsay, Paris In the former Gare d’Orsay, a Paris railway station and hotel, the musée is home to Cézanne, Monet and other French masters. Under a 138m-long curved glass roof, sits the largest collection of impressionist and post-Impressionist works in the world. The virtual tour (https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/musee-dorsay-paris) also includes an online exhibition charting the history of the building. And over on Tourist Tube there’s a 360-degree view of the magnificent exterior. m.musee-orsay.fr 8. British Museum, London There are 3,212 panes of glass in the domed ceiling of the British Museum’s Great Court, and no two are the same – and the 360-degree view in this virtual tour (https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/the-british-museum) lets viewers examine each and every one. Beyond this magnificent space, viewers can find the Rosetta Stone, Egyptian mummies and other ancient wonders. The museum’s interactive infographic platform, History Connected, goes into further depth of various objects with curators, along a timeline. britishmuseum.org 9. MASP, São Paulo, Brazil The Museu de Arte de São Paulo has one of the broadest historical collections available to view via its virtual gallery platform (https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/masp?hl=en) , spanning from the 14th to 20th centuries. Paintings appear suspended in the air around the open-plan space, on glass panels or “crystal easels” as the museum calls them. There’s also a temporary retrospective exhibition by Brazilian pop artist Teresinha Soares beside the building’s statement red staircase. The glass and red-beam structure, built in 1968, is worth a look from the outside too, via Google Street View. masp.org.br 10. National Gallery, London A backdrop to London’s four lions in Trafalgar Square, the National is home to 2,300 publicly-owned paintings, watercolours, drawings and other European art from the 13th to the mid-20th century. There are seven exhibition spaces of Renaissance art and the Central Hall to explore in its 360-view virtual touring pages (https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/visiting/virtual-tours/google-virtual-tour) , from portraits to large dramatic altarpieces. nationalgallery.org.uk 11. National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. This famous American art museum features two online exhibits (https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/national-gallery-of-art-washington-dc?hl=en) through Google. The first is an exhibit of American fashion from 1740 to 1895, including many renderings of clothes from the colonial and Revolutionary eras. The second is a collection of works from Dutch baroque painter Johannes Vermeer. 12. Pergamon Museum, Berlin As one of Germany's largest museums, Pergamon has a lot to offer — even if you can't physically be there (https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/pergamonmuseum-staatliche-museen-zu-berlin?hl=en) . This historical museum is home to plenty of ancient artifacts including the Ishtar Gate of Babylon and, of course, the Pergamon Altar. 13. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam Anyone who's a fan of this tragic, ingenious painter can see his works up close (or, almost up close) (https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/van-gogh-museum?hl=en) by virtually visiting this museum, home to the largest collection of artworks by Vincent van Gogh, including more than 200 paintings, 500 drawings, and 750 personal letters. 14. Uffizi Gallery, Florence This less well-known gallery houses the art collection of one of Florence's most famous families, the de' Medicis. The building was designed by Giorgio Vasari in 1560 specifically for Cosimo I de' Medici, but anyone can wander its halls from anywhere in the world (https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/uffizi-gallery?hl=en) . 15. National Museum of Anthropology, Mexico City Built in 1964, this museum is dedicated to the archaeology and history of Mexico's pre-Hispanic heritage. There are 22 exhibit rooms (https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/the-national-museum-of-anthropology-mexico-city-ziko-van-dijk-wikimedia-commons/bAGSHRdlzSRcdQ?hl=en) filled with ancient artifacts, including some from the Maya civilization. Not all popular art museums and galleries are included in Google Arts & Culture's collection, but some have taken it upon themselves to offer online visits. For example, the Louvre offers virtual tours on its website. To see more of Google Arts & Culture's collection of museums, visit its website. There are thousands of museum Street Views (https://artsandculture.google.com/search/streetview?hl=en) on Google as well. Google Arts & Culture also has an online experience for exploring famous historic and cultural heritage sites. 16. The Louvre The Louvre may be closed, but you can still access its many treasures online. The French museum’s virtual tour takes you to some of its galleries, including into the basement ruins of the building’s original moat, which dates back to 1190. Don’t miss the Egyptian antiquities, where you can learn more about the pharaonic period. While the entire museum isn’t available as a tour, much of the collection is available as images on their website, so you and the kids can search for the most memorable works, including the Mona Lisa. Tour The Louvre (https://www.louvre.fr/en/online-tours) 17. Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History Take yourself on a tour of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, whether it’s through the temporary exhibitions or the permanent collection. Along the way, check out dinosaur skeletons, animals from around the globe and even past exhibits that are no longer on display in reality. It’s a great way to keep your kids learning about the world around them even when they can’t be in school, and there are plenty of follow-up activities or readings you can do after the tour. While you’re there, stop by the Smithsonian Castle and the Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden, both of which have adjoining virtual tours. (https://naturalhistory.si.edu/visit/virtual-tour) 18. Easter Island Take things outside to Easter Island, where Google has created a virtual tour of the island’s famed statues. There’s also a short video of the island and its massive ancient creations, which could make for a good opportunity to discuss world geography with your kids. (https://artsandculture.google.com/story/4wXhfs-0ooroMQ?hl=en) 19. Monterey Bay Aquarium Who doesn’t want to look at peaceful videos of undersea life when they need a break from reality? The Monterey Bay Aquarium’s live web cams will delight both you and your young ones, especially the adorable penguin cam. To find something soothing, watch the hypnotizing moon jelly cam or the kelp forest cam, which showcases leopard sharks moving among the kelp. When the live cams aren’t running (they operate during specific hours), there are pre-recorded videos to fill in. (https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/animals/live-cams) 20. NASA Glenn Research Center Take a virtual tour of the NASA Glenn Research Center or the Space Telescope Operations Control Center, which houses the Hubble Telescope. At NASA Glenn, delve into the ballistics impact lab or the supersonic wind tunnel, which could, of course, lead to a discussion about physics that you might not be that equipped to have. Don’t worry, NASA has a lot of stuff online, making it a great resource during this time at home.

Hyperion, Dan Simmons

Priest’s Tale. Actually an epistolary narrative concerning a different priest. Catholic but a Jesuit archaeologist who’s main theological precursor is Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (coincidentally someone I have read recently owing the nearby bookshop’s sometimes esoteric offering in it’s religion section). Actually an atheist and a scientist. Representative of the most common epistemological position of classic sf. Has an encounter that overturns this system of knowledge, confirms his faith in a living God, and spurs his faith in the necessary mortality of both himself and his Church. Read alongside: James Blish, A Case of Conscience

Soldier’s Tale. Limited 3rd person narration. We’re following one individual but at an emotional distance. We see the economic and political conditions necessary for the re-emergence of a noble warrior caste and limited warfare, something common in military sf, and then the changes which lead to it’s fall and the return of 20th century total war and terror and all the nastiness military sf skipped over. Kassad’s love for Moneta is the courtly romantic love that removes him from his fellow man and encourages his growth both as a knight of the FORCE and later as a butcher of men. Theological question: If a man utilises orbiting x-rays to take out a heretical Shi’a prophet, but then essentially pretends to direct Allah’s anger to prompt the remaining colonists into peaceful submission, is he at fault from a Sunni perspective? Little ‘The door dilated’ reference to Heinlein. Read alongside: Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers (and/or Space Cadet and/or The Moon is a Harsh Mistress), Gordon Dickson, Dorsai series (even though I’ve only read Soldier, Ask Not which has an unusual protagonist and narrative for the series), Harry Harrison, Bill, the Galactic Hero

The Poet’s Tale. 1st person past-tense narration. Much discussion of the craft of writing. A lot to disagree with, particularly the notion that you’re using language as a degenerated tool to try and convey with clarity a pre-linguistic experience. Whether there are non-linguistic experiences or not, we are getting at them only through language, and a writer can hardly wield language with such craft and then claim it is a transparent medium. Contrary and excellent bit about the influence of Sapir-Whorf hypothesis and General Semantics on sf when an accident that reduces his speech capabilities and leaves him in drudge labour also reduces his experience of life to a tight cycle; and he only escapes through expanding his language use and the conceptual space he inhabits. The Shrike, in it’s appearance as Muse, echoing the Soldier’s courtly love. Does a prophecy create the future it predicts? Read alongside: Choose your favourite Samuel Delany, A. E. van Vogt’s Null-A series, any William Burroughs.

The Scholar’s Tale. Limited 3rd person narration. The relative normality of Sol’s life provides good background on the day-to-day existence of the Hegemony. The mysteries of the Time Tombs get some exploration here. Theological concern: You are a Jew and Israel (and the whole Earth) is long, long gone and dead. The exile is forever. The Messiah h’aint coming. You’re having dreams in which a disembodied voice commands you to repeat Abraham and sacrifice your only living child; who is herself ageing backwards owing to contact with the Shrike. You are an agnostic scholar of ethics. What do?

The Detective’s Tale. 1st person past-tense narration. Neo-noir and cyberpunk plot starting in a run-down slum sector of some heavy g industrial world. Nice nod to Asimov’s Robot Detective novels both in that this is about a cynical human detective learning to trust a robot, and in the aside about residents of such planets usually developing agoraphobia. The cybrid (a manufactured human body piloted by an AI that is actually present in the Cloud) is a recreation of Keats. Contrary to the personality crises and shoddy cartesian assumptions of some cyberpunk, he is adamant that he is not the same person as the real Keats, and clears up the detective’s assumptions about AI: While they may appear to be disembodied ghosts inhabiting another plane, temporarily possessing manufactured bodies, that plane is a very much real and material computer network. Using both noir and cyberpunk’s penchant for consipracy to uncover the political situation between the Human Hegemony, the Ousters, and the AI Core. As Keats plans to escape the AI Core to a section of space with extremely limited access to the network, he must inhabit this manufactured body. Ending on an AI Word becoming Flesh in order to cause an immaculate conception in the detective for the onset of a future human/AI Messiah. Edit: Almost forgot, but I like the part where the hacker character has aged out of his youthful subculture and taken a sensible job as a public sector data analyst, only to realise his own betrayal and throw in for one last stupid hack when given the opportunity.

We skipped over the Templar. He vanishes in an actual closed-room mystery but the investigation turns up some possible characteristics. A story told without the narrator’s presence.

The Consul’s Tale. Initially 1st person present-tense account of a love affair with two time structures running side-by-side that is revealed to concern an event occurring decades prior to another person. Followed by a confessional. Interrogation of the colonial ambitions underlying various Galactic Federations in print sf.

In all instances, a story dealing with the various ways of writing an sf text, encapsulating an age and pronouncing its death. The sense of approaching apocalypse is palpable, with the Shrike as its avatar. Extremely good stuff and I am tempted to read the sequel as it depicts that Fall of an era, but I can’t see how or why you would speculate in a positive sense beyond that negation. It seems the author didn’t, as Endymion still gives us a narrative of the downfall of a particular age and state, but it swaps out the secular Hegemony for the Catholic Church in space.

#wau it's more print sf reviews? rambles?

Photo by Felix Thiollier. French. 1842-1914.

“His father, Claude Auguste, was a ribbon maker. In 1857, he started a ribbon company in Saint Étienne. At age 37 he retired and pursued his interests in art, archeology and photography.” -

Author. Elizabth Camden.

"I love everything about this picture, including the story behind it! The dramatic composition of the horse, the woman’s fabulous coat, and blowing snow is somehow hypnotic to me.

The photographer was Felix Thiollier, a wealthy French industrialist who made his fortune early in life, then quit and moved to the countryside to pursue his love of photography. His favorite subjects were the French woodlands and what he believed to be the disappearing way of traditional way of life.

The woman in this 1899 photo was his daughter, who moved into the country with him, and often appeared as a subject in his photographs".

JOMP Book Photo Challenge | June | Introduce Yourself

Hi, I'm [Jamie]!

I have been a bookseller at two bookstores on Brisbane’s Southside for the past six years. Since the closure of one store in April, I am currently exploring new opportunities. Last year I made the exciting decision to pursue a lifelong goal of becoming a librarian/ working in the GLAMR industry, and I'm currently studying my Diploma of Library and Information Services. I've been blogging since February 2013 and am slowly returning to my regular posting schedule after a few quieter years on the blog. Reading, writing and sharing my love of books and knowledge is a huge passion of mine. If anyone ever needs a book recommendation, please let me know!

Art and design will always be in my life as a huge passion and creative outlet. Some of my other hobbies and interests include craft, reading, writing, gaming (D&D, board games, etc.), yoga, running, hiking and being in nature. I love travelling, spending time with my friends and drinking lots of tea.

I have always had a passion for learning and discovering new things. I hope to help and support those around me, no matter what they're going through. Talking about the important things in life, such as mental health, are really important conversations for me to engage in. I aspire to create the changes in myself that I want to see reflected in the world.

Day 1669: February 17, 2019

Musee d'Orsay

This huge museum was originally an opulent train station on the Left Bank of the Seine in central Paris, built in 1900. Today it is the primary French museum of art created from the mid-19th Century onward, including many of the most prominent works of the Impressionist movement. One of the largest art museums in Europe, it contains many of the masterpieces of Monet, Cezanne, Manet, Degas, Van Gogh, Gauguin, and many others.
