Palazzo Vecchio Museum, Firenze, Italie

Built between the end of the thirteenth century and the beginning of the fourteenth to house the city’s supreme governing body, the Priori delle Arti and the Gonfalonier of Justice, over time it has been subject to a series of extensions and transformations. Its current appearance is mainly due to the splendid restoration work and interior decoration carried out in the mid-sixteenth century to adapt the building to its new function as ducal palace as ordered by Cosimo I de’ Medici.

Les plus belles expos virtuelles pour se cultiver depuis chez soi

Une perle de plateforme signée Google Outre ses colossales collections virtuelles d’œuvres (parfois en gigapixels !) , la plateforme Google Arts & Culture propose d’excellents dossiers aux contenus scientifiques de qualité. On apprécie particulièrement l’analyse, en français, de La Jeune Fille à la perle de Johannes Vermeer par la romancière Tracy Chevalier ou encore « Faces to Frida », consacrée à l’icône mexicaine, avec la complicité du Centre Pompidou. Le musée a en effet commencé un partenariat avec le géant du Web dans le cadre de sa refonte numérique, qui aboutira prochainement à une exposition virtuelle sur la vie intime de Vassily Kandinsky.

Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, Espagne — Google Arts & Culture.

In short, the founding of this museum means the recuperation of the experience of modernity previously missing from the Spanish context and the opportunity to try out new models of narration from a periphery that is neither lateral nor derivative, but is rather an entry way for new stories, historiographic models and artistic episodes that tip the balance of the orthodox canon of the main museums. The institution no longer considers its task to be simply the transmission of culture. Instead, it works with other agents and institutions, creating networks and alliances that strengthen the public sphere and position Museo Reina Sofía as a reference of prime importance in the geopolitical South.

The idea of establishing a cultural and educational centre across from the Berlin Palace dates back to the time of Friedrich Wilhelm IV, who dreamt of creating a "sanctuary for art and science" on the site. The basic architectural concept for the Alte Nationalgalerie – a temple-like building raised on a plinth decorated with motifs from antiquity – came from the king himself. The building was designed by Friedrich August Stüler, a student of Schinkel who also designed the Neues Museum. It was completed after Stüler’s death by another of Schinkel’s students, Johann Heinrich Strack. Header image © Staatliche Museen zu Berlin / David von Becker. Londres : National gallery.
