"You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of sound. A dimension of sight. A dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into... The Twilight Zone."

This still life by Clara Peeters makes my mouth water.🤤 Peeters painted in Antwerp during a time when women were not granted guild membership which was necessary to sell one’s work and receive commissions. Not much is known about her life and work. 🤯🖌️🖼️

All look amazing. 😁 I am most excited for the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art which resembles a spacecraft. Budget: 1 billion dollars. Inside, 40,000 works devoted to narrative art: illustrations by Norman Rockwell, comic art by Jack Kirby! 💬💭🖼️

7 art museums opening in 2026 worth the trip
The museums opening in 2026 have not done things by halves. With star architects, previously unseen collections and futuristic buildings, the global museum map is about to be redrawn.

Memento Mori - reminder of death.
This interesting concert film was captured during 3 sold out shows in Mexico City. It mixes music with Mexico's cultural relationship with death. Words and music flash across the screen leaving you to reflect on music and mortality.💀

Some fires don’t rage — they smolder.
Layers of scarred gold, ash, and shadow hold what was never allowed to burn openly.
This is what remains when emotion survives compression.

George R.R. Martin wrote 3 novellas about Sir Dunk & Egg. I enjoyed these tales of the "small" folk and found episode 1 of the new TV series to be enjoyable & sweet. The story is a stand alone tale set in Westeros. If you like knights, swords, and jousts you will find this bloody fun! ⚔️🛡️😃

Whelp I was not amused. I was underwhelmed by this new series. First, who wrote this? 🤔 21st century sayings do not belong in the ST universe!! Also a Captain that puts her boots up on the chair!? We don't need new 👽 or AI/Holo' s walking around cracking 💩 jokes! Um no thanks 🤬
