🥇 Hokusai And Obuse: Hokusai's Last Years In The Small Town by @wittyzell

At around 80 years old, through an introduction of a friend, Hokusai met Takai Kozan, a young and wealthy farmer-merchant man from Obuse, a small town in Nagano. The two formed a deep bond and later on, Kozan invited Hokusai to his home in Obuse, where he could freely paint and paint in his later years. Hokusai traveled 240 km by foot from Tokyo (Edo during that time) to Obuse. Imagine traveling by foot?! And at that very old age?! I just simply cannot fathom, Hokusai's determination's just amazing!

🥈 Gulbenkian Park, Portugal [En-Pt] by @xrayman

It's a center of attraction because it has the Foundation's Grand Auditorium, the Museum and the Modern Art Center (which is currently and temporarily closed), and it always has itinerant and permanent exhibitions on display. I remember in ninth grade coming here with my class to visit the museum and seeing numerous Egyptian artifacts, including sarcophagi, treasures, robes, and many objects recovered and included in the exhibition.

🥉 Tour To Peshawar - Bala Hissar Fort & Peshawar Museum by @tahastories1

Peshawar trip was only one day long but we got chance to visit so many historical places in just one day. The central city "which is old city Peshawar" offers aesthetic and artistic beauty to you. It actually brings you back to old era. The first place which we visited in Peshawar was Sethi House Museum.
