Athens / Museum

The Numismatic Museum of Athens, also known as Iliou Melathron, is a museum dedicated to the history of currency and coinage in Greece and the broader Mediterranean region. It is located in the Ilisia neighborhood of Athens, Greece, and is housed in a 19th-century mansion that was originally built for the renowned archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann. The museum's collection includes over 600,000 coins, as well as medals, decorations, and paper currency, spanning from ancient Greece to modern times. It is one of the largest and most important collections of coins in the world, and is known for its unique and rare specimens, such as the famous Syracusan dekadrachm from the 5th century BC. The museum's exhibits are organized thematically and chronologically, with displays covering the development of coinage in Greece, the Roman Empire, Byzantium, and beyond. There are also exhibits that explore the use of coins in daily life, as well as their role in shaping political, economic, and cultural history. In addition to its exhibits, the Numismatic Museum of Athens also offers educational programs, including guided tours, workshops, and lectures, as well as research facilities for scholars and researchers. Overall, it is an important institution for the study and appreciation of numismatics, and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history of currency and coinage.

London / Sport Centre

An oasis of peace in London's frantic atmosphere.

Mexico City / Music Venue

Plaza Garibaldi, home to Mexico City’s mariachis. Located along one of the city’s main avenues, Eje Central a few blocks from the Fine Arts Palace. At all hours of the day and night, mariachi bands can be found playing or soliciting gigs from visitors to the Plaza, or on the main avenue trying to get picked up and taken to house parties to play. A must see if you are in the city centre.

Antwerp / Bar

They have a really nice natural wine and beer selection. Music is very good selected as well.

Amsterdam / Club

De School is my favorite spot in Amsterdam. It opened in January of 2016 on Doctor Jan van Breemenstraat. The place, which used to be a technical school, is more than a nightclub: it’s a restaurant, a café, an exhibition venue, a gym, and many more things. It's owned and run by Post CS BV — the same crew that ran Trouw and Club 11. The nightclub has a capacity of 700 people, and it's located in the institution's former bicycle storage area. The program focuses on local DJs, who are allowed to play extended sets, but international guests also regularly stop by. The ambiance there is so enchanting that it's hard for me to leave even when I can't feel my legs anymore. It's super dark, fog all over the place, super loud, flawlessly music and introspective humans dancing like there's no tomorrow. Who could ask for anything more?

Tokyo / Attraction

This cave at the foot of Mt. Fuji is located in the spread of volcanic rocks, surrounded by sea of trees where compass is no use. The temperatures drop suddenly, and you will not be able to stay inside the cave for long. However, the explorers will go further inside seeking for the bats flying around. It is highly recommended to visitors of the sacred Mt. Fuji .

Bogotá / Garden Centre

Meet around 18.206 plants from Around Colombia.

Belfast / Market

A beautiful Victorian covered market. Coming from a city of super-hipster market types, this place was so refreshing. It's an actual real market, with a lovely buzzy friendly vibe and normal products and prices. We irritated the veg man by taking pictures of his swanky fruit, and browsed everything from nighties to massive scones. We passed some time drinking top-notch coffee and munching tasty cakes next to a bunch of old men who looked like they were having their daily catch up. Was a heart-warming kind of place, loved it.

New York / Restaurant

The best freshly pulled noodles. My favorite is braised pork with noodles in broth, celery and cilantro add a delicious freshness. Perfect for a cold day.

New York / Studio Spaces

If you are looking for extraordinary studio-space, rental and awesome customer service included: this is your place to have your photo-shoots happening! There is also a lot of attractive outdoor options in the area around Greenpoint.

Miami / Artist

Liza Sylvestre was born in South Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her summers were spent climbing trees and her winters were full of snow and many layers of sweaters and jackets. Sylvestre's early life and adolescence was defined by a significant and progressive hearing loss. Communication became increasingly dependent on small details that she became sensitive to. This simple physical fact created a very distinct lens through which she processed the world, and continues to process the world. She moved to Miami in 2006 where she shares a home studio with artist Luis Diaz. Her paintings and drawings grow out of simple things: single marks, a gesture hinted at with an overlapping of color. They require both spontaneity and control and a belief that beauty hangs somewhere in the balance between those poles. Sylvestre also runs the blog Hardrainlight.

Copenhagen / Artist

CATHRINE RABEN DAVIDSEN Historical accounts, works of fiction and mythological material combined with personal memory often form the point of departure for the work of Danish artist Cathrine Raben Davidsen. Her activities are characterized by a strong fascination with the material and the urge constantly to experiment with and explore different artistic techniques. From early on she has also drawn inspiration from the history of art and from a variety of textual references associated with Western and Eastern mythology and literature. The traditional hierarchies among art, artist-craftsmanship and design are negated in an artistic oeuvre that ranges wide from painting, drawing and ceramics to costumes and stage design. Cathrine Raben Davidsen (b. 1972) has exhibited widely in Denmark and abroad and is represented in several national and international art collections. Public collections include: SMK, The National Gallery of Denmark, Trapholt Museum of Modern Art, Applied Art, Design and Architecture, Horsens Art Museum and The New Carlsberg Foundation among others. She has created costumes and set design for The Royal Danish Ballet and has received numerous prestigious awards, grants and scholarships. She is educated in Italy, The Netherlands and in Denmark at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. She lives and works in Copenhagen.
