On June 20, the traditional Summer Museum Night will take place and give us free entry to many museums and galleries across Slovenia.
The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington houses the largest collection of catalog reference materials. These help in research and understanding of our planet, biological and cultural diversity, evolutionary processes and global changes.
It's time for the Summer Museum Night 2016. The traditional campaign of Slovenian museums, galleries and other exhibition venues, which takes place every third Saturday in June, will take place for the 14th time this year, namely on June 18, 2016. This year's Summer Museum Night will also be like all the previous ones allowed free entry to many museums and galleries in Slovenia.
"Today we live with the awareness that an art object can be anything and an artist can be anyone," said academic sculptor Marjan Drev. Like him, we also disagree with this, although today there are no more boundaries, because if art can be a snow shovel and a urinal, art can be anything! The latest such example is a scene from the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, where teenagers secretly placed glasses on the floor, and visitors mistook them for an art installation and reacted as expected. No, they didn't get angry, but rather tried to immerse themselves in this "artistic" work, and some of them even enthusiastically photographed the "work".
Art is for everyone, but not everyone likes visiting art museums. The Paris Musées organization, which takes care of 14 Parisian museums, does not intend to "convert" those who do not like visiting museums, but rather offered them a more comfortable alternative: an online platform in which it "exhibits" its entire assortment of works of art. To promote the platform, they set up an imaginative advertising campaign tailored to the modern web user, in which ten star Instagram users were offered the opportunity to recreate one of the works of art in their own way.
Museums can be a really great thing, but you have to admit that some of them are pretty boring. So it's no surprise that some people get tired of them. When we see so many frescoes and classic paintings for the uninitiated and Sunday art lovers, they all become more or less the same. But museums don't have to be boring, especially in the age of Snapchat. Don't know what we mean? Then take a look at this photo gallery and everything will be clear to you immediately. If works of art could talk…
Ljubljana is richer for the Museum of Illusions, a museum that is a big hit and one of the most visited tourist attractions in Zagreb and Zadar. In it you will find holograms and horrorgrams, puzzles, rooms of illusions, pictures that disappear before your eyes, etc. The Museum of Illusions on Congress Square is a place where nothing is as it seems and where you will question your senses.
You will never guess which is the biggest tourist attraction in Europe. It had tough competition, as it faced the Eiffel Tower, Buckingham Palace, the Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona, the Roman Colosseum, the Acropolis of Athens and the Guinness Storehouse brewery in Dublin, which celebrated last year. The World Travel Awards Association awarded the tourism Oscar for the biggest tourist attraction this time to an attraction in Northern Ireland.
The Guggenheim Museum in New York is richer for the 18-karat gold toilet bowl. Although you probably thought it was an exhibition exhibit at first, the golden toilet named America, located on the fifth floor of this famous museum of modern art, is not only functional, but can be used by any visitor. If, of course, he can wait in line.
The fantasy world of Guillermo del Toro has come to life at the Los Angeles Museum of Art (LACMA). Through elements from his fantasy film narratives such as The Faun's Labyrinth and The Hobbit, objects from his personal collection and sketches from his notebooks, the exhibition explores part of Thor's creative process. Immerse yourself in the extravagant imagination of the famous Mexican director.
A new era is coming! Industry – labor – capital is a new project of the Ljubljana City Museum. At the exhibition, which will have its premiere on October 28, 2016, visitors will be able to see a comprehensive overview of industry in Ljubljana: from the beginnings of industrialization to predictions of possible futures. You are welcome.
