Pittencrieff Park

Dunfermline

Reino Unido

Pittencrieff Park is a public park in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. It was purchased in 1902 by the town's most famous son, Andrew Carnegie, and given to the people of Dunfermline in a ceremony the following year. Its lands include the historically significant and topologically rugged glen which interrupts the centre of Dunfermline and, accordingly, part of the intention of the purchase was to carry out civic development of the area in a way which also respected its heritage. The project notably attracted the attention of the urban planner and educationalist, Patrick Geddes. The glen is an area of topographical and historical significance to Dunfermline as the original site of Malcolm's Tower, the probable remains of which can be identified today on a strongly defendable outcrop of rock. To the eastern side of the park is Dunfermline Palace with Dunfermline Abbey and to the west it overlooks the village of Crossford.

Rússia

Nijni Novgorod , encurtada de maneira coloquial para Nijni, é uma cidade na Rússia e o centro administrativo do Distrito Federal do Volga e Oblast de Nijni Novgorod. De 1932 a 1990, era conhecida como Gorky , em homenagem ao escritor Máximo Gorki, que nasceu lá. A cidade é um importante centro económico, de transporte, científico, educacional e cultural na Rússia e na vasta Região Econômica Volgo-Viatski, e é o principal centro do turismo fluvial na Rússia. Na parte histórica da cidade há um grande número de universidades, teatros, museus e igrejas. Nijni Novgorod está localizado a cerca de 400 km a leste de Moscou, onde o rio Oka deságua no Volga. Sua população em 2010 foi de 1.250.619, um decréscimo em relação aos dois censos anteriores, 1.311.252 e 1,438,133 . A cidade foi fundada em 4 de fevereiro de 1221 pelo príncipe Yuri II de Vladimir. Em 1612, Kuzma Minin e o príncipe Dmitry Pozharsky organizaram um exército para a libertação de Moscou dos poloneses. Em 1817, Nijni Novgorod tornou-se um grande centro comercial do Império Russo. Em 1896, em uma feira, foi organizada uma Exposição Toda-Rússia. Durante o período soviético, a cidade se transformou em um importante centro industrial. Em particular, a fábrica de automóveis Gorky foi construída neste período. Em seguida, a cidade recebeu o apelido de "Detroit russa". Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, Gorky se tornou o maior fornecedor de equipamentos militares para a Frente Oriental. Devido a isso, a Luftwaffe constantemente bombardeou a cidade do ar. A maioria das bombas alemãs cairam na área da fábrica de automóveis Gorky. Embora quase todos os locais de produção da usina tenham sido completamente destruídos, os cidadãos de Gorky reconstruíram a fábrica após 100 dias. Após a guerra, Gorky se tornou uma "cidade fechada" e permaneceu assim até a dissolução da União Soviética, em 1990. Naquela época, a cidade foi renomeada Nijni Novgorod novamente. Em 1985, o metro foi aberto. O Kremlin - o principal centro da cidade - contém as principais agências governamentais da cidade e do Distrito Federal do Volga.

Porém, o edifício onde se encontra hoje só foi inaugurado em 1965. Este foi projectado pelo arquitecto estadunidense e discíplo de Frank Lloyd Wright, Edward Durell Stone, a pedido da instituição, devido à falta de espaço e de demais condições para a manutenção e exposição de obras de arte de tal valor e importância cultural e artística. As origens da rica colecção do museu remontam a 1957, ano em que o fundador desta intituição comprou as suas primeiras 24 pinturas, treze das quais ainda permanecem no museu. Hoje, este alberga cerca de 3.500 obras de arte. Entre as obras de mais destaque encontram-se as extraordinárias pinturas dos pre-rafaelistas ingleses, da pintura barroca italiana e da escola francesa. As suas catorze galerias exibem obras de importantes artistas como Peter Paul Rubens, Lucas Cranach o Velho, Luca Giordano, El Greco, Diego Velázquez, Eugène Delacroix, Edward-Coley Burne-Jones, Francisco de Zurbarán, José de Ribera, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, Francisco Goya, Guido Reni, Hubert Robert, Gustave Moreau,Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Thomas Gainsborough, Theodore Rombouts, Anthony van Dyck, James Tissot, Konstantin Jergorovitch Makovski, ou mesmo Frederic Lord Leighton, cujo Sol ardente de Junho é a obra mais apreciada do museu. A instituição latino-americana exibe igualmente uma rica selecção de arte americana e portorriquenha, com peças de Francisco Oller y Cestero, José Campeche e Ramón Frade. Hoje em dia o Museu de Arte de Ponce é a única instituição museológica de Porto Rico pertencente à Associação Americana de Museus, tendo já emprestado obras a museus conhecidos universalmente como o Museu do Louvre, em Paris, o Metropolitan Museum of Art, em Nova Iorque e a National Gallery of Art, em Washington.

Marlipins Museum

Shoreham-by-Sea

Reino Unido

Marlipins Museum, is a 12th to early-13th century Grade II* listed building on the High Street in Shoreham-by-Sea, a town in Adur district in West Sussex, England. It is distinguished by its chess-board pattern of stone flint on its frontal façade. The initial estimate of the date of the building is thought to be 12th century based on new evidence which has emerged following the demolition of the adjunct building during the construction of the new annexe. The northern wall was originally constructed between 1167 and 1197 and that this was demolished and replaced by a new wall in the 15th century. It is thought to be the oldest complete non-religious building in Britain. The Caen stone frontage is thought to have been added in the late-13th to early-14th century along with other renovations. Repairs and reconstruction then took place to the roof in the 15th century and new internal timbers were installed in the 16th century.
