Insulin Pump Manufacturers



Day 3

Sunday as a day of rest compulsory for all - except us. extremely zdyscy plinowana project group refocused on the wake in the morning, so Zeb y have a 9 to begin to participate actively in the life of cities. Of course, given the atmosphere on Sunday mornings many of the us and therefore in great rush at about 10: 30 in the end we left the hostel.



Before entering were asked to answer the important question - What to see? Stockholm is the city where at least one month p Residence Permit can be given only to museums - we mieliś us one day.






There was so przeg rupowanie - some of us, particularly with political aspirations, she went on a trip to Riksdag - the Swedish parliament. While others began to walk around the island of museums - S keppsholmen . This thematic island is almost entirely devoted to art. Located at the Museum of Oriental and Moderna Museet . Only bridge divides the island from the next focal point for every connoisseur Art - National museet. In addition, right on the shore of the lake, with beautiful views of the adjacent coast, has its headquarters Stockholm Academy of Fine Arts, or Kungliga Konsthögskolan-hard to imagine better conditions for studying, especially items related to art.



In a remarkable density of such sites should be prioritized so-best start since the end of history - that is, from the Moderna Museet. Even the building of the museum invites you to visit - a characteristic Scandinavian minimalism combined with a warm atmosphere inside, which makes visitors want to simply stay in the premises of the museum. Judging by the number of visitors - the strategy is working. The museum was a lot of visitors, including many young couples with small children, who watched with interest the paintings and sculptures. Swedes make them sensitive to art from an early age.


both at the Moderna Museet and in other places we visited that day, threw themselves into the eyes of big groups of children, often with their parents, who ran the museum, or have had classes in specially prepared for this purpose halls.

And at the Moderna Museet is much to admire - not just for kids. Huge collection of a cross section of key trends in the art of the twentieth century - both continental Europe and Ska n dynawii. Collections include, inter alia, some of the most famous works of artists such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Henri Matisse , Robert Rauschenberg, Oskar Kokoschka , Georges Braque , Marcel Duchamp, Edward Munch, and Vassily Kandinsky . among Swedish artists works occupy an important place Hjertén och Sigrid Siri Derkert.



After far too short a visit to the museum of modern art, now the whole group went to walk to the next sztokholmiskiej attractions - Vasa museet . Unusual collections of the museum's limited to one - but how spektaktularnego - monument. this is a huge monument wachtowiec the early seventeenth century.



In 1620, Sweden was at war with the Polish. So in 1625 the Swedish King Gustav II Adolf commissioned the building of new vessels. One of them was named Vasa. August 10, 1628 the ship sailed on its maiden voyage. It is scheduled for Sunday - so that as many people could accumulate on the waterfront and admire the majesty of the new fleet, and thus enjoy the power of the state. Among the dignitaries were many from abroad - the ship was to be a propaganda tool serving selected an outstanding position among the European countries of Sweden.

But even today we can admire this monument of the art of war almost intact. This does not mean that the Catholic enemies - Poles - failed to even scratch the giant wachtowca. So what happened? Just-ship following the departure from the port at Salwach cannon oklasakch all the inhabitants of Stockholm and with the blessing of the king .... Sunk. Right on the shore. A narrow construction of the vessel caused that, it had to be extremely fast, but also had a feedback is a technical fault - he was unstable. The rate had no one to see instability as it has proved to be very dramatic consequences. The ship just off the coast bent to such an extent that he has gained huge amounts of water and majestically began to sink to the bottom. And with the dreams King of the conquest of its neighbors. Paradoxically - Today the ship is a great pride. This is probably the world's only copy the structure of the seventeenth wielku which 90% is authentic. The silt at the bottom of the waterfront was a wonderful preservative material and thanks to him not only excavated the hull of the ship, but also everyday objects and the bones of the dead. This allowed the accuracy nizwykłą recreate the living conditions of people from that era, which gives great exposure in a museum.

Although the Vasa Museum is another a place where you can spend at least several hours, and soon it was necessary to carry out further points of the program. Fortunately, our next destination was near, to be exact - in front. few minutes later, so we went to the Nordiska museet . rustic collections were also fascinating, especially for us - skandynawistów. The first exposure that we have come across was an exhibition ... washing machines. It turned out that by showing the evolution of these devices can also provide the evolution of Swedish society, anecdotes related to human habits and changing habits. It is worth mentioning that for the Swedes washing machine is not only a simple utility function - it is also an element that integrates whole community, a meeting place for laundry neighbors and friends. It may seem strange, but not when we realize that the characteristic feature of the Swedish housing is ... no machine. These units are located in a specially designated for this purpose part of the basement, which is carrying the laundry. And there, connected to the spirit of community, meet Swedes to talk, meet, hang out ads, and by the way - to wash.

Other exhibitions are no less interesting, and - typical for the Nordic Museum - interactive. We analyzed the conversion of existing costumes depending on the prevailing ideology within the framework of the exhibition Modemakt - 300 år av kläder , we observed a common immigrant community project carried out in collaboration with the museum - Livstycket på Nordiska museet , which resulted in amazing fabrics which blend of minimalism and Eastern skandynawksiego taste for ornament.

All items can be dotnkąć, to feel, to commune with them. Equally interesting from the perspective of exposure to people interested in Sweden was the exposure on national holidays in Sweden and the Swedish toys.

for now we will just organizational meeting.
