Pick Pocket haven at the Reina Sofia

(See accompanying photo)

The steep stairs of the Reina Sofia modern art gallery are a favorite hangout for pick-pockets. They generally follow tourists up the stairs, pretending to be scouring a map. As they close on the tourist's wallet or purse, they reach from beneath the map and voila!—a vacation gone under the cover of the map.

I was a couple of steps behind my wife as we were ascending the same stairs, when I looked over and saw the guy in the attached photo with his hand in her backpack-purse. I said, "Hey that guy has his hand in your purse!" At which point he turned and said, "No I don't!" I snapped his picture, but in the days of digital cameras taking eons to click, he managed to disguise-at least his face - with the same map.

We showed the photo to the contingent of police at the museum, and they said they'd keep an eye out for the guy. Yet, an hour later, as we were descending in the museum's glass elevators, we helplessly watched as the same guy walked up behind an elderly man on the same stairs, pulled out the map, and pulled out the poor guy's wallet. At which point we were all banging on the glass walls of the elevator, catching the attention of the police, and setting in motion a huge foot chase with us, the police and the thief. The thief escaped, I'm sorry to say. ]]> Pick Pocket haven at the Reina Sofia

The Oscar Niemeyer Museum (Museu Oscar Niemeyer) is located in the city of Curitiba, in the state of Paraná, in Brazil. It was inaugurated in 2002 with the name Novo Museu or New Museum. With the conclusion of remodeling and the construction of a new annex, it was reinaugurated on July 8, 2003, with the current denomination to honor its famous architect who completed this project at 95 years of age. It is also known as Museu do Olho or Museum of the Eye, due to the design of the building.
The museum focuses on the visual arts, architecture and design. For its magnificence, beauty and for the importance of the collection, it represents a cultural institution of international significance. The complex of two buildings, installed in an area of 35 thousand square meters (of which 19 thousand are dedicated to exhibition space), it is a true example of architecture allied with art. The first building was designed by Oscar Niemeyer in 1967, faithful to the style of the time, and conceived as an educational institute. It was remodeled and adapted to function as a museum, for which Niemeyer designed the annex, reminiscent of an eye, imprinting it with a new characteristic identity.

The 45,000-square-foot structure was expressly built to display "Ashes and Snow," a show of 200 large-scale photographic works by the artist Gregory Colbert.

It's not just the show that's going out on the road. The entire museum is to be packed in 37 of the 148 cargo containers that form its checkerboard walls. The temporary structure is composed largely of recyclable materials: the roof and columns are made of paper tubes, the steel containers stacked 34 feet high are used, and a handmade curtain to be suspended from the ceiling is made of one million pressed paper tea bags (used, with the tea leaves removed).

In 1992 the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany was founded as an institution for changing exhibitions and has since then offered a varied programme of international significance. During the first ten years over 100 exhibitions have been organized in the areas of art, cultural history, science and technology. An exhibition on the Bronze Age is just as suited to be presented here as a retrospective on a contemporary artist.

Two of the major collections of the Kunstmuseum Bonn (Bonn Art Museum) are "August Macke and the Rhenish Expressionists" and works of internationally recognised representatives of German art since 1945. In this highly praised construction that opened its doors in 1992, the Kunstmuseum Bonn formulates its claim to international class.

The Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume is a museum of contemporary art in the north-west corner of the Tuileries Gardens in Paris.

The building was constructed in 1861 during the reign of Napoleon III. It originally housed tennis courts; the name is from the precursor of tennis, the jeu de paume.

It was used from 1940 to 1944 to store Jewish cultural property looted by the Nazi regime in France (see Rose Valland).

Before 1986, it contained the Musée du Jeu de Paume, which held many important impressionist works now in the Musée d'Orsay.]]> Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume
