A visit to the home of the Swedish ambassador in Mexico

As part of the celebration of National day, the embassador organized a party at her home.

They only invite Swedes living in Mexico and some other ambassadors. But this year I got to go with a Swedish friend...

Perfect time to dress up as a European again!!!

Museo Soumaya. The sculptures

One of the many things that impacted me the most is the sculpture collection on the top floor.

The museum holds the largest collection of sculptures by Auguste Rodin outside of France, and the world's largest private collection of his art.

Crazy!!!

And has at least 20 sculpturess by Dalí!

Museo Soumaya, finally a European museum in Mexico

This is the first time I've seen something like this in Mexico

I love museums with great works of art but I can't believe that we didn't have anything like that in Mexico

The worst part is that it is private. All the artworks belong to the richest man in the world (who happens to be Mexican). So he decided t o build a museum to show his private collection.

The museum contains the world's largest collection of pre-Hispanic and colonial era coins. You can also see works from Rodin, Salvador Dalí, Picasso, Renoir, Miró, van Gogh, Matisse, Monet, Manet, Murillo, El Greco, Tintoretto, Tiziano, Lippi, and so many others... Still... crazy that it is private!!!!

I loved it!!!

Can you tell this is a van Gogh?? and there are 3 of them!!

And a Chagall? I haven't seen one since 2000!!

Going to Asia!!

My first time in Asia

And why did I go there?? Well, I was sent from work to teach a couple of classes in Indonesia

It took me 41 hours to get there. Mexico - Los Angeles - Tokio - Singapore - Jakarta - Semarang. Somehow it didn't feel that long...

Thank you Singapore Airlines for providing me with Japanese food and for giving me the change to use chopsticks on a plane ;)
