The majlis is the traditional hospitality space in Arab and North African houses, the place where guests and travelers are welcomed, offering them shelter and cohabitation. Hospitality is also the central proposal of the exhibition that Lebanese artist and composer Tarek Atoui (Beirut, 1980) presents at the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, in collaboration with TBA21 Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary. It is called At-Triq, which means "the one who comes from the night" or "the star of the morning," and is part of a long-term research project on the rural musical traditions of the Arab world on sub-Saharan pilgrimage and trade routes.Atoui shows in the museum the first chapter of his proposal, with which he approaches the Tamazgha, the North African territories inhabited by the Amazigh or Berber people, source and deposit of musical, artistic, artisanal and intellectual traditions. After two years of exchange with musicians and artisans from the Moroccan Atlas region and other nearby areas, the artist presents a space of poetic hospitality - composed around the majlis, a place that welcomes, receives and resonates, while generating a multiplicity of affinities and experiences.In At-Triq, music is the protagonist and becomes itself an act of hospitality. Through intertwined textures and materials, this sound installation invites visitors to inhabit the thresholds between the traditional and the contemporary, the familiar and the unknown, revealing the nomadic inclinations present in these affinities.

The Royal Palace of Madrid is an architectural masterpiece and a powerful symbol of Spain&#39;s monarchy. While it is the official residence of the royal family, it is primarily used for state ceremonies, allowing the public to explore its stunning interior. The palace&#39;s imposing Baroque and Classical fa&ccedil;ade gives way to rooms of breathtaking opulence.

The Prado Museum, located in Madrid, Spain, is one of the world&#39;s most important art museums, renowned for its vast collection of Spanish and European art.

We arranged a last-minute tour with Haitao, a guide found on Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform), who led us through the Prado for two hours, and we spent the remaining two hours exploring on our own. Photography was not allowed in the exhibition areas.

The most memorable work was Bosch&#39;s *The Garden of Earthly Delight*. For that era, the imagination was so profound; it&#39;s like a science fiction work that our time cannot surpass, expressing the boundless desires of humanity.

Watching Marco Pe`rez a talented teenager born in 2007 1V6 bullfighting, this bullfighting known as the &quot;old bull&quot; is called a bullfighting that happens in 20 years, I have the opportunity to watch it on the spot (after learning the news this morning, through friends in Madrid, find a way to get the ticket, There is also a doctor who reads Spanish bullfighting art in Madrid, a Beijing brother&#39;s live guide and reconciliation) and admired a wonderful, ups and downs, twenty-year-old bullfighting, the whole venue is full, and also appreciates the Spaniard&#39;s fever, so lucky, Very happy and excited to have such an experience 🤩😎

大写的旅游日记忆

The museum is a private collection of German industrialists and collectors, and was later sold to the Spanish government and opened to the public. After visiting the Prado and Sofia Queen Art Center, I came here again and felt that the collector&#39;s extraordinary vision and strength were too powerful. Their collections span not only centuries, but also have a wide range of styles and artists involved. Just like super rich investors, investors have invested in each track, and they have included artworks of various periods and styles. For visitors, the museum is extremely diverse in style, with a strong lineup of painters and artworks of different eras and genres. Coming here is equivalent to a one-off visit to dozens of galleries, from ancient art, baroque, rococo, to 19th century and modern art.
