A Return visit

 5 December 2019

We had an arty start to our day in Punte del Este, Uruguay. First stop was the stunning Ralli Museum, https://www.rallimuseums.com/en/Punta_del_Este, which had, among other things, exhibitions from Dali, Chagall and Beryl Cook.

On arrival we realised that we had visited this gallery on a previous visit to Punta Del Este but that didn't faze us as it is such an interesting site and we saw some new exhibitions there.

Supersize Sculptures

 As it was along our route from Bradford to Sheffield we stopped in to have a look at The Yorkshire Sculpture Park which is just off the M1. Visiting this large outdoor art gallery, that was spread out over several acres, gave us an opportunity to stretch our legs and see some interesting large artworks. Thankfully the weather gods were smiling on us during our stroll.

While I didn't understand what some of the sculptures represented I enjoyed the break in such a peaceful environment.

Out and about in London

Our day in London - Two art galleries and a fantastic musical with dinner in between.

 

Staying out of the Rain

We caught up with Degas, Gaugin, Monet, Rodin, Toulouse Lautrec, Van Gogh and several other artists at the Musee D'Orsay (a former railway station) this afternoon. A pleasant way to escape the afternoon showers in Paris. 

Goodbye Helsinki

 We've had a fantastic few days in Helsinki and would recommend this city for a short stay. It was a convenient stop for us on our flight with Finnair from Sydney to London.

For our last morning in Helsinki we strolled a few hundred metres down the street to the Sinebrychoff Art Museum where we learnt more about the art and culture of Finland.
