What an interesting space this is! I do remember the book fair and this wonderful relic of another time. The details in this building were filed away in my brain, they just don't have the same concept of building anymore.
I like the old photograph of the lobby of the theater. Look how grand it looks, whether one agrees with Lenin doesn't matter. I like that they don't hide history, but, show off the truth. It adds credence to the entire museum.
Palace of Culture and the making of a new space, wouldn't that be nice? I think it is a perfect place to do it, it would get a lot of traffic that it would not normally get, yes? It certainly would be a place I would love to peruse on a day off.
I am always interested in the backstory of history or even current life. :) Thank you, once again for making #MarketFriday look so good!
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday
I think that history should not be hidden - we should remember and analyse the past, we should not lose the experience of generations.
I'm very interested to see what will come of the idea of a museum exhibition (if I guessed their plans correctly). I'll have to visit the place in due course and see the changes! Thank you very much!
