Museums where the whole world opens up We often strive to travel by plane to other countries, to other continents, to see something unusual and new. In India, many years ago, I visited the Queen Elizabeth Museum, where a huge painting by the Russian artist Vereshchagin called "Elephants" struck me with its magic: wherever you stood, it seemed that the animals were looking right at you. In London, in a free museum, you could see sarcophagi with Egyptian mummies and ancient artifacts. In Brazil, you can admire rare semi-precious stones that cost a fortune, especially in the museum at the Stern factory. Believe me, a lover of museums and travel, in New York you can see works no worse than in the Louvre and the Prado Museum in Madrid, where museums open up a whole world to you. And on 47th Street in Manhattan, you can buy unique stones cheaper than in the factories of Rio de Janeiro. It is New York's museums that make the capital of the world a true capital of culture, a place where eras and continents meet. The Metropolitan, or simply "the Met," is the largest museum in the United States. Its collections span five thousand years of human history. Egyptian sarcophagi and Van Gogh's paintings, antique statues and Rembrandt's canvases stand side by side. In one day, a visitor seems to embark on a round-the-world journey across eras and continents. Interesting fact: the museum's collection contains more than 2 million exhibits, and it is impossible to see them all in one lifetime. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is a territory of bold experiments. Masterpieces by Picasso, Matisse and Warhol coexist with daring works by 21st century artists. MoMA teaches us to look at the world in a new way, breaking the usual boundaries of perception. Interesting fact: the most popular painting of the museum is Van Gogh's "Starry Night". It is photographed by hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. The American Museum of Natural History — The Universe Under the Roof. This museum is known to everyone for its giant dinosaurs, ocean and space halls. The exhibits reveal the secrets of the Earth and the Universe, and a walk through the halls turns into an adventure — as if scenes from "Night at the Museum" come to life before your eyes. Interesting fact: the museum's collection exceeds 33 million objects — from meteorites to whale skeletons. Guggenheim: Temple of Modernism. The museum building, created by Frank Lloyd Wright, has become a symbol of New York. Spiral galleries lead visitors upward, revealing masterpieces by Kandinsky, Chagall, Pollock. Interesting fact: when it opened in 1959, critics called the building "too bold", and today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Jewish Museum reveals a rich history and tradition, while the Immigrant Museum on the Lower East Side tells the story of the early settlers who built New York City. There are museum pearls in New York, and they are not alone. The mansion of millionaire Henry Frick houses a unique collection of European paintings and furniture. Interesting fact: during the restoration, the Frick Museum was temporarily housed in a former bank building on Madison Avenue, which in itself became a cultural event. After the restoration and renovation, which cost more than one million and lasted 5 years, porcelain flowers by the magnificent sculptor, artist and architect Vladimir Kanevsky, a native of Kharkov (Ukraine), harmoniously fit in next to the masterpieces of painting. He has been creating beauty from porcelain for more than 30 years, and during these years of his work, porcelain flowers have appeared in the collections of kings and queens. Vladimir Kanevsky's porcelain peonies, made in 2024-2025, and other porcelain flowers, which were exhibited at his solo exhibitions at the Meissen Porcelain Factory in Germany, the Hermitage and the Holwood Museum in Washington, fit harmoniously with other masterpieces of art. Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, "Self-Portrait", 1658; Johannes Vermeer, "Mistress and Maid", c. 1664-67; John Constable, "The White Horse", 1819; Thomas Gainsborough, "The Honourable Frances Duncombe", c. 1777; Hans Holbein the Younger, "Sir Thomas More", 1527; Jean-Antoine Houdon, "Diana the Huntress", 1776-95. Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, "Louise, Princess de Broglie, later Countess d'Haussonville", 1845; Hans Memling, "Portrait of a Man", 1470-75; Pierre-Auguste Renoir, "The Walk", 1875-76; Edgar Degas, "The Rehearsal", 1878-79; Clodion, "The Dance of Time: Three Nymphs Supporting the Clock", 1788. No words! New York museums are more than just collections of exhibits. They are living spaces of dialogue between cultures and generations. When we cross their threshold, we travel around the world and through time – and take a piece of eternity with us. Marina Lagunova

Helped bring back my loved one - I share the contact of a clairvoyant
I doubted for a long time whether it was worth contacting someone at all, but when everything became bad, I decided to do it. I found a clairvoyant woman who really sees and feels the situation. She doesn’t just tell fortunes — she works with energy, cleanses, gives strong advice. My man left, I suffered for almost a year. After working with her, he contacted me after 3 days. Now everything is all over again, like at the beginning of the relationship. If anyone needs it, here is her number: +1 646 377 9379 I am sincerely grateful, and may her help bring light to someone else.
My husband and I have been together for 15 years, but in the last two years everything went downhill: constant quarrels, coldness, misunderstanding. I thought it was all a divorce. A friend advised me to contact the clairvoyant Lilia. Honestly, I didn’t really believe her, but I decided to try. Lilia immediately saw the root of the problem, said that there was negativity on our family, and suggested performing a cleansing ritual. After just a couple of weeks, my relationship with my husband began to change. Now it’s as if we’ve fallen in love with each other all over again. Thank you, Lilia, for giving me my family back! Her contacts (+380638055486 - this is her WhatsApp or Viber and there is a regular number to call her +19297133433)
My husband left 4 months ago. He said he didn't love me. He just packed his things and left. I was lying on the floor, crying, not eating, not living. I wrote to him, called him - he ignored me... I came across Lilia by accident. My last hope. I wrote to her, my hands were shaking... She said: "You will bring him back. Give me 3 days." I didn't believe it... but on the second day HE WROTE. On the third - he came with flowers and asked for forgiveness... Now he is sleeping next to me. And I am crying with happiness. Thank you, Lilia. You saved my family.

Marfa is more than just a fortune teller. She is a conductor of light.
Martha saved me. I don’t know how to find the right words, because everything I went through is impossible to describe simply. It wasn’t pain... it was devastation. As if everything alive had been burned out inside me. My husband left. He just got up and left, as if he had never loved me. He said he stopped loving me. He said he was tired. And I stood rooted to the spot, with a mug in my hand and couldn’t breathe. After that, the days merged into a black shroud. I didn’t eat, I didn’t sleep. I woke up and didn’t want to wake up. The children asked where dad was, but I just remained silent and died even more. Everything we had was gone. He was with another woman. He lived with her. He laughed with her. And it was as if I had died for him. I didn’t believe in anything. Until I accidentally saw a review about Martha. At first, I brushed it off. But then, in some kind of desperate hysteria, I simply wrote to her. And she answered. From the first words, warmth. Calm. She didn't ask stupid questions. She just said... You haven't lost everything yet. But you're on the edge. And she started working. I don't know how, I don't know what exactly she did, but it got easier with each passing day. I started having dreams where he came back. I started feeling like there was something between us again. Three weeks later, he came back. Himself. Without threats, without shouting. He just came. He fell on his knees and begged for forgiveness. He said that something had happened to him, that it was as if he had woken up. He looked into my eyes as if for the first time. I sobbed like a child. Now he is with us again. With the children. With me. We are learning to live again. And if it weren't for Marfa, I wouldn't be writing this letter. I might not have written anything at all... Marfa is not just a fortune teller. She is a conductor of light. She is the last hope. Her phone number is +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
