The Vordun — here I enjoy culture

Some time ago a dear friend recommended me The Vordun — Museum and Gallery. This ambitious museum has moved recently. And they have expanded again.

On their website The Vordun — Museum and Gallery I can read that they strive to bring art, history, culture to people all over the world. Specially they think of people who have not access to any real museum. This idea of serving the common good pulls my attention!

So I teleport to The Vordun — Museum and Gallery.  Just arrived, I activate my membership in the group The Vordun Museum and Gallery, which does not cause costs. In the Entrance area there is a floorplan for orientation. Wall boards also tell me those who support this institution. I can even donate, of course, and I do.

The atmosphere is set friendly and invites to visit this with friends, even to meet other people here. When I have visited this the first time, there has been a little technical issue. I have reported it friendly to the owner Jake Vordun, and this time the issue is gone. They take care. Thank you much!

Nothing is intrusive here. There are no hovering letters which ask to click this and that. But stepping through the doors, I receive HUDs for myself. These help me to study the exhibits in detail.

Here I am looking at the peinture Salome with the Head of Saint John the Baptist, oil on canvas by Guido Reini, Italian, about 1600. The HUD is telling me details in the LocalChat. I also could hear that via my loudspeakers.

 A specialty is The Blue Cloak, painted by Peter Bruegel the Elder in 1559. It is not inscribed. But it encourages to guess more than a hundred Dutch Proverbs. Via HUD my viewer jumps step by step to the details, and the special Proverb is explained in the LocalChat. Exciting!

 

The exhibition Musica Antiqua combines ancient music instruments with peintures. Via HUD I get a vocal sample of the music instrument, and I read in LocalCchat about its history and working, also about the meaning of the peinture. Here I am looking at and hearing to the organ and to the clavichord.

The exhibition Ukiyo-e — Pictures of the Floating World showcases colourful woodblock prints and paintings from the Japanese Edo-period, 17th to 19th century. Myself, I am instantly listening to a vocal sample of the shamisen.

Also the exhibition Sincerely Yours is exciting me. Postcards are showcased from the current project Postcrossing.com. In the real life you can send and receive postcards worldwide and randomly. I maybe join!

This museum follows an exciting concept. The visitor shall be seduced to get involved in the experience. With success, concerning myself!

There is also a nice bistro. Today, I can not continue anymore, I am sorry. There still remain some exhibitions for the next time. In the gift shop I buy a postcard. I address and send it to a girlfriend. Maybe, she will join!
