Anna Pavlovna, a Colourful Queen – Exhibition

Thursday, 13 October 2016, 7:00 Moniek Bloks 0
Last week I went to the opening of the “Anna Pavlovna, a Colourful Queen”-exhibition, though for the Loo Palace most of the attention was focused on Queen Máxima, who came to open the exhibition. The actual exhibition appeared to be rather an afterthought and I found myself wandering around as we waited for a photo [read more]

Catherine The Greatest: Self-Polished Diamond – Exhibition at the Hermitage Amsterdam

Monday, 20 June 2016, 13:00 Moniek Bloks 0

The Kaiser Exhibition at The Loo Palace Review

Friday, 13 November 2015, 7:00 Moniek Bloks 2
The contrast between The Loo Palace’s two exhibitions could not have been greater. From the graceful and timeless Sisi to the ultimate military man, William II, the last German Emperor. The Kaiser exhibition began just two days ago, and I visited it right away. To my own surprise there was no ban on photography this [read more]

On 9 April I attended the opening of the Marie Louise of Hesse-Kassel year in Leeuwarden. Marie Louise died on 9 April 1765 and this year is the 250th anniversary of her death. She was regent twice, first for her son who was born two months after his father’s death and second for her grandson [read more]

Alexander, Napoleon & Joséphine: A Story of Friendship, War and Art

Tuesday, 31 March 2015, 19:00 Moniek Bloks 0
Last week I was invited to view the new Alexander, Napoleon & Josephine: A Story of Love, War and Art exhibition at the Hermitage Amsterdam. The exhibition holds many art objects collected by Empress Joséphine after her divorce from Napoleon and also treasures such as Napoleon’s death mask, a briefcase used by Alexander I and [read more]
