Of all the fortifications of Luxembourg, Fort Lambert is my favorite place. Not only because of its fascinating history, but above all because of the way the preserved remains are presented and the presence of art, which give this site an almost magical character. I walk past it almost every day on my way to work, and each time I…

WINDOW TO THE WORLD | OKNO NA ÅšWIAT
Luxembourg Central Station is the most pleasant railway station I have had the opportunity to visit so far. It is small, intimate, and feels safe.

IGOR MITORAJ’S SCULPTURES
While strolling through the Parco della Neapolis (the Neapolis Archaeological Park) in Sicily, I came across beautiful classical sculptures perfectly integrated into the park’s surroundings. These sculptures caught my eye because they seemed familiar to me. I felt like I had seen them somewhere before – especially the heads wrapped as if in bandages. Upon closer inspection, I realized they…

It wasn’t love at first sight. Rothko had insisted that the…
