💫What a delightful start of 2026!
This weekend I travelled to Venlo - in Dutch #Limburg - to visit “Burgundians in Limburg” (Limburgs Museum): a wonderful exhibition on the #Burgundian splendour of the late 14th- and 15th-century #Meuse region. [1/6]

✨ It was an honour being able to witness the ancient #Cypriot Feast of #Theophany today, January 6! While Western traditions often celebrate the Magi's visit of Bethlehem, the #Eastern Church marks this day by commemorating the #baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. [1/4]

Why sit in a lecture hall when you can go on a field trip? Last week I visited #Antwerp with bright #art #history students in our master's programme! After a brief stop at Antwerp Central Station - the city's famous 'railway cathedral' - we visited Kunsthal Extra City. [1/5]

Did you know that the 17th-century city hall of Amsterdam, symbol of republican power in the Dutch Republic, was almost entirely decorated by a sculptor from Antwerp?
