A Century of German Ceramic Arts
Comments Off
The reason for this bizarre-sounding exhibition is that German artists working in ceramics at the end of the 19th-century suddenly came under a new set of influences from Japan. Experiments with oriental-style glazing eventually resulted in the refinement of a technique that ultimately led in to the influential Bauhaus and Jugendstil movements. This exhibition presents 190 works by 70 artists, spanning the whole of the 20th-century.

Le Rampe
Comments Off
The open-air night spot Le Rampe, set on a terrace looking over the river, must surely enjoy one of the best locations in Florence. It is particularly popular with a laid-back, thirtysomething crowd attracted by an eclectic choice of live music performances – jazz, operetta, classical or early music – and good food. The restaurant’s menus are also designed to fit in with the evening’s musical content. But you don’t have to eat; you can just order a drink from the bar and enjoy the fresh air.

Sydney at Federation
Comments Off
Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of Australia’s Federation, this exhibition marks the time when Sydney transformed itself from a sleepy Victorian backwater to the brash and breezy 20th-century city it is now. Photographs, film footage and interactive panoramas of the Sydney cityscape as it was then are contrasted with today’s glass and concrete skyline. A chance to immerse yourself in a quieter, gentler period.
