The National Museum of History and Art (MNHA) @ Luxembourg

The National Museum of History and Art dedicates for the first time in Luxembourg an exhibition to one of the main representatives of American Abstract Expressionism. Hans Hofmann is one of the most important 20th century American modernist artists and art teachers. Born in 1880 in Weißenburg, Bavaria, Hofmann died in the United States in 1966. In his oeuvre, he combines the traditions of European modernist painting with influences from American postwar art, particularly abstract expressionism.

The National Museum of History and Art (MNHA) is honoured to present the exhibition Drama and Tenderness - Flemish, Spanish and Italian Art of the Baroque. An exceptional display of baroque art, it features works from the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp that will be on loan until it will reopen its doors in 2019. Completed by works from two prestigious European private collections as well as the MNHA's own holdings, this rare ensemble of baroque masterpieces brings together Flemish artists such as Rubens, Van Dyck and Jordaens with Spanish and Italian masters including Murillo, Ribera or Zurbaran.

The exhibition will be accessible to the public from 10th November 2017 until the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp will reopen its doors in 2019.

Some pieces from the permanent exhibition.

In relation to the evolution of lifestyles from the Renaissance to the 19th century, the MNHA has taken an original and transversal perspective on habitat and the applied arts in Luxembourg. Beautifully situated in old residencies of the 16th to the 20th centuries, the decorative arts and crafts section of the museum has been radically redesigned and modernised, and will reopen to the public in 2015. From the diversity of the pieces presented - furniture, clocks, ceramics, silverware - to the architectural setting itself, the tour highlights the complex relationship between the singularity of production in Luxembourg and its foreign influences.

Nham Nham @ Palácio do Chiado

É oficial, o Palácio do Chiado já abriu. O novo espaço da Baixa de Lisboa arrisca-se a ser  spot mais falado do momento. E por bons motivos. O edifício da Rua do Alecrim, antiga residência do General Junto e do Barão de Quintela, resistiu a um incêndio e ao terramoto de 1755. E é entre as escadarias, tetos pintados com frescos e vitrais coloridos que o novo conceito gastronómico de Lisboa vai assentar. Mas, afinal, o que é que se pode comer por lá? Há ao todo sete espaços independentes, complementados pelo bar da entrada, que é gerido pela administração do Palácio Chiado. Em cada um deles, há cartas variadas e é capaz de demorar algum tempo a percorrê-las, uma por uma, até decidir o que vai almoçar, lanchar ou jantar. Pelas salas do Palácio vais poder experimentar sushi ou carne, hambúrgueres ou petiscos tradicionais, e acompanhá-los com espumantes ou cocktails de assinatura.
