Curiosity

Last summer, I visited my family and friend in France, enjoy food, bounding time, loves after so many months of covid and stress. With childhood friends, we organized a weekend in Lyon, between adults and children.

4 days of parties and fun Lyon is recognised for its cuisine and gastronomy, as well as historical and architectural landmarks; as such, the districts of Old Lyon, the Fourvière hill, the Presqu’île and the slopes of the Croix- Rousse are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Lyon was historically an important area for the production and weaving of silk. Lyon played a significant role in the history of cinema since Auguste and Louis Lumière invented the cinematograph there. The city is also known for its light festival, the Fête des Lumières, which begins every 8 December and lasts for four days, earning Lyon the title of “Capital of Lights”.

We visited “confluence museum” A truly unique piece of architecture, a centerpiece of the revitalization of an old industrial neighbourhood. The museum itself has an interesting collection of objects underscoring the history of man and his relationship with nature, with many indigenous art included. IT remind me Cabinets of curiosities, also known as ‘wonder rooms’, were small collections of extraordinary objects which, like today’s museums, attempted to categorise and tell stories about the wonders and oddities of the natural world. It frequently uses animals. Idrew my inspiration for this canvas, both from the cabinets of curiosities and at the same time from the countless species of birds at Singapore.
