De studie van de Nederlandse geschiedenis staat in Duitsland op een wel heel erg laag pitje, lager dan ooit. Het Haus der Niederlande is dus belangrijk en alle steun is welkom.
Er zou best nog zo'n Haus bij kunnen, in Postdam natuurlijk, bij het Holländerviertel.

Er is aardig wat literatuur over de Lorenzetti fresco's. Zie Quentin Skinner's artikelen (Vision of. Politics, vol 2) voor een mooi political thought perspectief; een prachtig kunsthistorisch perspectief vind je in het werk van Gerhard Wolf, die wijst op de centrale rol van de 3 dames in wit.

Reopening on 1 September in #Siena: Lorenzetti's frescoes

-of the ideal of civic government
-and, to warn, of the reality of dreadful tyranny.

For all citizens to ponder--and act.

See: museocivico.comune.siena.it

Detail below: the citizens take the rope of/ from concord.
They hold it firmly.

Reading Whose Muse? Art Museums and the Public Trust edited by James Cuno from @princetonupress.bsky.social. Broad appeal for any museum enthusiast but also asks important questions about rapidly changing funding models, looting, illegal exports, colonialism, museum as civic center and more.

Eigenlijk wel ironisch dat @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu nu bekritiseerd wordt vanwege het feit dat zij niét kon optreden als een 'Superstaat', een Kaiserin Ursula, een dominant Brussel dat dicteert en geopolitiek als een Xi optreedt.
Krijgen ze die zo verlangde zwakke EU, is het weer niet goed

It's way too easy for EU national leaders to criticise @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu for capitulating to Trump.

The EU-US deal reflects their lack of EU-wide vision as much as the transformation of the EU Commission into the secretariat of the EU Council #EUCO

This is exactly the point. The Commission played its cards terribly but only because this is what members states pushed it to do, with neither demonstrating vision of a strong and united Europe and the courage to defend it

Voor de sefardisch-protestantse dialoog was juist het 17e eeuwse Holland van eminentbelang. Denk, wat Amsterdam betreft, bijv aan Menasseh ben Israel's vele geschriften, waaronder El Conciliador en Piedra Gloriosa uit 1654, geïllustreerd door een Amsterdamse kunstenaar (en bijna buurman), Rembrandt.

Not a Prussian affair, so not much in Berlin Museums, but all the more in Schwaben, in Allgäu, in Thuringia.

A visual echo of the famous civil rights march over the bridge at Selma, Alabama…
tamasbereczky.bsky.social
Extreme right and ultranationalist demonstrators blocked the original bridge that the Budapest Pride march wanted to cross. So the march opted for another, more photogenic bridge. Never before have so many people hit the streets to march against the oppressive, fascist Orbán regime.
