Have you already visited the Streetart Museum of St.Petersburg?

 As informed in the we web page of the museum: 

Street Art Museum  of St.Petersburg is situated on the acting Laminated Plastics factory in the East of Saint Petersburg. Unification of industrial post-soviet ethics, the nerve of real life and young street art is the main thesis of the project. 

Allocated on the acting factory far from historical center and the main arteries of the cultural life, the Museum has become an attractive spot for an active public during last two summer seasons since 2014.

The territory of the Museum is divided into two separate zones – permanent exposition on the factory territory and open public space – the venue for temporary exhibitions and large-scale events.  

It is worth checking...

Some monumentalism from the Soviet time can be found there too...

Farewell!

Exploring #music Exploring shops #BasqueCountry or #Euskadi & #Galicia

May be you do not yet know my professional blog about all-kinds-of-Music... 

Check "AdventuresinMusic" if interested.

As once again in Galicia and Basque Country - as almost every year once - I found some new shops. there you can find an interesting variety of  music of every kind. 

Well...can be that you only stream music, but if you want to get good tips, talk about local music...May be you also want at the same time buy some books about music, cool T-shirts and shoes or things like that...

...So go in #Galicia in #Vigo to #Elepé or in #SantiagodeCompostela to #TrisquelArtesanía.

And in #Bilbao to #PowerRecords or #BrixtonRecords. You can find some small record stores also in #SanSebastian.

As you can see I bought some ten of local CDs in Santiago and had a nice chat with the shopkeeper...

As you can see I bought another ten of local CDs in Bilbao and had a nice chat with the shopkeeper...

By streaming you can find your favorite pieces of music. But by roaming in musicshops in the Northern Spain you can feel and smell the music. Feel it in a kind of a concrete way. Maybe Vigo or Santiago or Bilbao or San Sebastian or where ever you wish to go there...

Have a nice shop hopping - I always do!

#FilmFestivals in #Galicia and #BasqueCountry

I hope I will find for you here some photos about #FilmFestivalSanSebastian later... I visited it
for the first time more or less 10 years ago. Last year just passing by...

But this year I visited #FestivaldeCans, not Cannes. I bet you do not know...It is organized in
O Porriño/Cans in Galicia #Spain. Near #Vigo. A short Film Festival. For you here some photos. It is a meeting place of friends and friends of friends indeed! Nice atmosphere indeed!

See you soon! In Cans?

#Soccer from the Northern Spain

Well...I have been following the soccer from Northern Spain for a long time...
Yes I am a soccer fan...global soccer too...

#AthleticBilbao #CeltaVigo #RealSociedad #DeportivolaCoruña and others too...

As #Eibar, #Alaves #SportingGijon and #Osasuna too...

Some all the time in league, some every now and then...

Maybe you have noticed that Athletic Bilbao has been always in Spanish league? As Real Madrid and Barcelona too. Maybe you have noticed that there have been quite many soccer teams from the Northern Spain in the Spanish league in recent years if you compare...

Have you visited the new stadium of Athletic Bilbao or the museum?

 

Me until now not the new Stadium, even if I visit Northern Spain every year once. Well...soon...As I visit Basque Country and Galicia almost every year. The Museums of Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad I have visited yes. And next time I think the Museum of Celta de Vigo.

But yes I have visited the games too. Earlier. 

Athletic Bilbao...Celta Vigo...Real Sociedad...Deportivo la Coruña...

Here some more photos for you from the past... 

About the shop in the old town which I visit every now and then...

 

Or one of the bars of the fans of Athletic Bilbao in the old town which I visit every now an then...

 Aupa! Goooooool!

Visiting 2 Rockbars in Barcelona - Finally

This time I made it. Visited the 2 rockbars already wanted to visit last time. The one was cool. The other one was too touristic. At least for me.

The Bollocs was still quite empty when I went there. Maybe it was too early to visit such a rockbar. But anyway for me it was somehow too touristic. Some reviews tell another story. Well...check it then you can make up your mind yourself. I mean if you like it or not. 

The other rockbar Nevermind I liked very much. Cool interior really!

But why do both bars serve in tap Heineken and Amstel? Why not to choose some domestic beers or craft beers? Or at least Estrella Damm from Barcelona?

Studios and Stardom: Lenfilm and Novodevitchy again, Mosfilm too

It was really a  WOW Trip, the Trip visiting of the Finnish-Russian society to the #Film'studios in St.Petersburg and Moscow!

So during the trip we visited the Lenfilm and its studios, and its props store...Actually there I visited for the first time last year. But now it was more, more detailed way and we had a guide. One Russian actor.

And the Mosfilm with the Mosfilm Museum tour including in the studio area built city from the ancient times, different studios, props rooms...and so on. You name it!

We lived in the Mosfilm hotel...

 

...and I had in front of my hotel room the poster of the film "Battelship Potemkin". There were all along corridors different film posters. Oh-oh.

Till the end of our stay in Moscow we visited the Novodevichy cementery. There are allways lots to see for those who are interested in the Russian history...

... You can find all the Russian celebrities from different decades and centuries...May be the Music - may be the Litterature - may be the Cinema - maybe the Politics. And so on. The advice to you is, to tost in front of every grave as did we. Russian vodka, of course.

If you have read my blog earlier, may be that you have read the story about my earlier visit in the Novodevichy cementary two years ago. Then it was mainly music and sports for me. I mean in which I concentrated on in the grave yard.

Well, then...The Filmtheater Illusion was the cherry on the top! I like those nostalgic kind of filmtheaters. You can feel and smell the decades of filmhistory there. No doubt.

So I hope it was possible for you when reading this story of mine feel the spirit of the world of the cinema. So take a train from Helsinki to the World of the Russian #Cinema!

Požaluista!
