Gallery of the Academy of Florence
Discover world-famous paintings, sculptures, and tapestries with this timed entry ticket to the Accademia Gallery in Florence. See iconic pieces by Michelangelo like 'the Prisoners', 'St. Matthew' and the statue of David. View works by other famous masters like Bartolini.
Admire the 5.17-meter marble statue representing the Biblical hero David, a favored subject in Florentine art. The statue soon came to symbolize the defence of civil liberties embodied in the Republic of Florence, an independent city-state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states and by the hegemony of the Medici family.
In the adjacent rooms, which were part of two former convents, important works of art are collected here from the Academy of Design, the Academy of Fine Arts and from suppressed convents.
Recently the Gallery has been further enriched by the important collection of old musical instruments from the Cherubini Conservatory, the Department of Musical Instruments.

Reading is a Bridge of Knowledge
"Reading is a bridge of knowledge," for those who want to fill their free time with activities that can fill the mind and soul, can open their feet to visit the Raja Tun Library.
For those who have small children, a visit to this library will surely give birth to a love for books and libraries. This is because, the special zone for children is decorated quite creatively, full of colors. It is not only the children's section that is interesting in this 6-story building, but also the entire library which has the concept of a library in the park or "library in the park."
The levels of this library also have their own theme. Among the themes highlighted are 'space,' 'earth,' 'ocean' and 'man,' interesting isn't it? The facilities of this ultra-modern library are also very exceptional when compared to other libraries. Among the unique facilities offered are such as a 3D theater, a 6D 'multi-sensory' theater, 3 different gymnasiums, Xbox Kinnect, 'virtual reality' technology (HTC Valve), computer facilities (Windows and Mac), iStep / Ubiq interactive games and much more.
The location is close to many other attractions in Shah Alam such as Shah Alam Lake Gardens and the Blue Mosque.

Bluetooth museum at Konjernes jelling
Very interesting place that I’ve visited!
I already knew that the original word called “Bluetooth” came from the king of Denmark 🇩🇰 😲 H+B
One of the most popular kings 👑 in Nordic countries is the Christian IV of Denmark 🇩🇰 , and Rosenborg Castle 🏰was made for him.
Right now, the king 👑 of Denmark is Frederik 10, and he also likes running 🏃

WOW! The light..!
We had no idea what to expect. The tour of the museum was included in the wine tasting we had booked at Colome. The exploration of light and darkness was fascinating. I, too, wished there had been more explanation of the installations, but just walking through them was so cool!! #jamesturrellmuseum #argentina #knowledge #beautiful
