Tate Modern

posted by bredo on 4 January 2007 at 11:54

Ok, everyone who lives in London knows about Tate Modern, but it is one of the great modern art museums of the world. With a dazzling permanent collection and regular exhibitions. Check out the Turbine Hall (at entrance), there is always something gigantic and interesting going on. At the moment they have this giant slide.

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

posted by bredo on 4 January 2007 at 11:45

You must check out this fantastic museum of modern art - with works by Bacon, Giacometti, Picasso and Warhol set in this crazy plantation style house. Wander round the garden, it has spectacular views across the Swedish sound and hidden art treasures like Henry Moore + a giant hill to roll down - the kids love it!

Natural History Museum

posted by bredo on 28 December 2006 at 13:18

One of my favourite museums in London. It's stunning to look at, so ornate and so much fun and that's before you've even gone inside. Inside is a treat for the kids (and the grown ups too), dinosaurs come to life, the natural world in all it's glory in one place.

Santa Maria Novella

posted by bredo on 28 December 2006 at 13:11

A beautiful 14th Century church, cannot be missed if you go to Florence. I think as well as being architecturally stunning it has some of Florence's most amazing works of art including Massachio and Brunelleschi. Look for the Henry Moore bronze in the adjoining gardens as you leave. (seemed a strange place to find one)

The Lido + Hotel des Bains

posted by bredo on 28 December 2006 at 12:56

Its a small island near Venice. Take a speedboat to reach it. We stayed at a lovely hotel called Hotel des Bains, would highly recommend it. Quick stroll to the beach for a swim in the ocean or lie by the pool.
