Masterpiece From Impressionist And Post- Impressionist: Art Institute Of Chicago

Some cities have great history that itself attracts you towards them. They stand so bravely in order to achieve the place that it is remarkable. And this city itself has a history of series of war. Settled on the southwestern shores of Lake Michigan, Chicago is the 3rd largest city in United States. It was 1883 when Chicago was established after battling numerous fights with Native American. Chicago strongly holds the Democratic Party. And hence it has been home to influence many politicians including the current President of the United States, Barrack Obama. This city has received many local names like ‘chi- city’, ‘chi- town’ and ‘windy city’. It was modern paintings that attracted me to the Art Institute in Chicago. The Art Institute situated at the 111 South Michigan Avenue in the Chicago Landmark Historic Michigan Boulevard  [...]

Join The Choir In Notre Da Paris

Being a church lover, the idea of visiting church always excited me and that’s how I made my plan to visit ‘the city of joy’. Yeah you guys are right it is Paris. Paris has one of the most of iconic landmarks along with historical monuments. It is the pure air you get to breathe in the church. The hymns that float in church make you also swing with the choir. It feels as if the heart has land in Garden of Eden where everything is just very beautiful. It is the place where you feel that some one has heard all the unsaid words you wanted to say. An empty heart is always on the peaceful side. No doubt when you go to Paris there are ample of attraction to visit but I guess no one should miss out their visit to Notre Dome De Paris. But the souls of Paris call it as ‘Our lady of Paris’ in French and is also known as Notre Dome Cathedral.  [...]

World’s Oldest Museum Hermitage, Swifts You Away

It was the bravura history of this city that made me to travel from Moscow city to Saint Petersburg. It was really crazy for me to land in this city just after listening to history but to be honest there are many other things about this city that attracted me. And the most eye-catching was the museum comprising about 3 million art works. It is undoubtedly world oldest museum established by Catherine The Great and whose only small part is open to the common people. It was Tsar Peter I of Russia who had built an entire city on the alluvium of Neva. It was named after the saint Peter and Tsar himself: Saint Petersburg. The sawy Italian Architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli was the one who designed the official building all over 44 islands and divided by more than 60 canals. Russians have paid a huge price for the construction of this city as they have  [...]

Experience Grandeur In La Ville- Lumiere

Your eyes keep rolling from one end to another while you watch the giant museum. Yeah it is now a museum I mean a palace which is now one of the renowned museum of the world. Massive, elaborate, huge….. You call it whatever, but this word definitely proves that it is not possible to experience the beauty of Louvre in one day. Yes, I m using the word ‘ not possible’ rather than ‘ impossible’ as literally even it says ‘ I am possible’. Even a hebdomad is not sufficient enough. It is Musse du Louvre for the local souls but legitimately it is named as Grand Louvre and in lingua Franca it is called as Louvre Museum or Great Louvre, or simply the Louvre- the largest museum of France. It is one of the most visited and historic monument of the world. The Louvre is a separate little city with all its rooms and exhibitions; it is allied  [...]
