Baalbek Archaeological Site
1. Prehistoric Beginnings
- Neolithic Period (~9000 BC): Archaeological evidence suggests that Baalbek was inhabited as early as the Neolithic period. Its location in the Beqaa Valley made it ideal for early human settlement due to fertile lands and access to water.
- It likely began as a small agrarian community.
2. Canaanite and Phoenician Era
- By the 3rd millennium BC, Baalbek was a prominent religious site for the Canaanites and later the Phoenicians.
- It was dedicated to Baal, the storm and fertility god, and Astarte, the goddess of love and war. The name "Baalbek" means "Lord (Baal) of the Beqaa."
- The site was home to temples and altars built for rituals to honor these deities.
3. Hellenistic Period (4th–1st Century BC)
- After the conquests of Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC, Baalbek fell under Hellenistic influence and was renamed Heliopolis, meaning "City of the Sun."
- Greek culture and religious practices mingled with local traditions, but Baalbek remained a significant religious center.
4. Roman Period (1st Century BC – 4th Century AD)
- Baalbek reached its zenith during Roman rule.
- Around the 1st century BC, the Romans began an ambitious construction project to build massive temples dedicated to their gods. The Temple of Jupiter: One of the largest religious structures in the Roman world. The Temple of Bacchus: A remarkably well-preserved and ornate temple. The Temple of Venus: A smaller but elegant temple.
- Baalbek became a pilgrimage site and showcased Roman engineering and architectural grandeur.
- The city was part of the Roman province of Syria and later the Byzantine Empire, continuing its religious importance.
5. Islamic Period (7th–13th Century CE)
- Baalbek fell to the Muslim armies during the 7th century CE, under the Rashidun Caliphate.
- Its religious role shifted, with some Roman temples converted into mosques or repurposed.
- Under the Umayyads, Abbasids, and later Mamluks, Baalbek retained its significance as a regional center and was fortified against invaders.
6. Medieval Period
- The Crusaders briefly occupied Baalbek during the 12th century but were unable to hold it for long.
- The city returned to Muslim control and continued to flourish under the Mamluks, who added fortifications and other structures.
7. Ottoman Period (1516–1918)

- The sheer scale of this temple underscores its importance as a religious and political statement of Roman power.
2. Temple of Bacchus
Dedicated to Bacchus, the god of wine, fertility, and revelry.
- Often mistaken as the Temple of Jupiter due to its grandeur, the Temple of Bacchus is exceptionally well-preserved.
- It features richly decorated friezes and reliefs depicting vines, mythical creatures, and Roman deities.
- The temple measures approximately 69 meters in length and 36 meters in width, with 42 columns, each 19 meters tall.

- A smaller but elegantly designed temple, known for its curvilinear and circular shape, which contrasts with the more rectilinear designs of the other temples.
- The temple stands apart from the main complex and exhibits unique features of Roman decorative styles.
4. The Great Court
Served as the grand entrance to the Temple of Jupiter and a gathering space for worshipers.
- The court measures about 135 meters by 113 meters and features altars, pools, and smaller structures used for rituals.
- Its layout includes a hexagonal forecourt, surrounded by columns and flanked by staircases leading to the temples.
- 5. The Hexagonal Court
- Transitional space between the Great Court and the Temple of Jupiter.
- This court is unique in its hexagonal shape, surrounded by a colonnade.
- It was used for ceremonies and as a preparatory area for pilgrims approaching the temples.

The Jewish Museum of the City of Vienna is a place of encounter, interaction and understanding, which seeks to raise awareness of Jewish history, religion, and culture.

The first Jewish museum in the world was founded in Vienna in 1895, sponsored by a group of Viennese Jewish citizens. The collection focused on the culture and history of the Jews in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, particularly Vienna and Galicia.

In the interwar years Zionist objects were added, reflecting the new political discussion at that time.

The museum was closed by the Nazis in 1938 directly after the Anschluss. In the last year of its existence the inventory listed 6,474 objects. In 1939 the museum collection was transferred to the Museum of Ethnology and other institutions in Vienna. The Anthropology Department of the Natural History Museum in Vienna used some of the items for its anti-Semitic propaganda exhibition “The physical and psychological appearance of the Jews".

Most of the objects were returned to the IKG Vienna in the early 1950s, although some were not restituted until the 1990s. Over half of the objects have disappeared; it is practically impossible to discover whether they were stolen or deliberately destroyed. Objects once listed in the Jewish Museum collection turn up occasionally on the art and antiques market. The surviving objects – on permanent loan from the IKG to the present-day Jewish Museum Vienna – form a unique component of the current collection.

Created in April 2016 on the initiative of the French contemporary art collector Philippe Méaille, the Château de Montsoreau - Museum of contemporary art is a radical, committed, living place.
Its permanent collection is the world's largest collection of works from the Art & Language movement.
It is located two hours from Paris, in the Loire Valley World Heritage of Unesco.
Innovative, experimental and unexpected, the cultural program of the Château de Montsoreau - Museum of contemporary art is organized around temporary exhibitions, events, meetings, concerts and performances.

Museum Kimchikan opened in 1986 as the Kimchi Museum.
The museum is dedicated to kimchi, one of the foundations of Korean cuisine. Kimchi is a spicy dish made of fermented vegetables with a predominance of cabbage with toppings.
The museum is divided into three parts, the first presents the history of kimchi, the second shows how kimchi is prepared and what its nutritional benefits are, the third presents a multitude of historical and regional varieties.

The Lippisches Landesmuseum, located in the heart of Detmold, houses extensive collections in the fields of art, culture, and natural history. The selection of exhibits ranges from Stone Age artifacts to historical toys, furniture, clothing, and valuable oil paintings. The exhibition "Mythos" showcases the most comprehensive collection nationwide on the history of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest between the Germanic tribes and the Romans. Numerous objects and modern media illustrate how this historical event became a myth of German history.
The "Cultures of the World" collection holds a very special treasure: a 6,500-year-old child mummy from Peru. It is considered the oldest mummy that can be viewed in Europe, older than Ötzi and nearly twice as old as the mummy of the pharaoh Tutankhamun.
Local forests and exotic animal worlds from savannas, rainforests, and polar regions can all be experienced in one place. The animals are realistically displayed in their habitats, and interactive modules and stations make exploring this section a must for families with children.

1. Limited exhibition: Some visitors believe that the permanent exhibitions are too modest and do not fully reflect the city's rich history. Therefore, expectations regarding a deeper narrative about Gdynia may not be met.
2. Lack of interactivity: Compared to modern museums that offer many interactive elements, the Gdynia City Museum may seem traditional and less engaging to a younger audience.
3. Location: Although it is located in the city center, some visitors may find it difficult to find, especially if someone does not know Gdynia well.
4. Limited opening hours: Some criticism also concerns opening hours, which may not be adapted to the needs of tourists, especially on weekends.
5. Ticket price: For some visitors, the ticket price may seem too high compared to the exhibition content offered.
6. Lack of catering facilities: The lack of a café or restaurant on site may be considered an inconvenience, especially for tourists spending a long time in the museum.
7. Parking spaces for people with disabilities are located 100 meters from the museum.
8. The museum responds to visitors' intervention for no longer than 2 months.
9. Films published before September 1, 2019 do not have subtitles for the deaf, some graphic materials lack alternative texts, some documents are not digitally available.
10. The director of the museum is Karin M., an official from the city hall of former president Wojciech Sz., who was associated with former president Lech K. (PiS). Appointed to the position of acting director by the same Wojciech Sz.

The current „m.” [Anna F.-L. (59) e.g. conservator, Małgorzata M. (62) e.g. employment and payroll specialist, Zofia K. (55) e.g. accountant] worked closely with Krzysztof K. (PZPR, SLD) as his devoted employees. Krzysztof K. questioned, contrary to the facts, the origin of museum exhibits worth millions of zlotys from the Z. collection. He took over the m. g. house for his private agritourism. He organized widely criticized hunting events with the participation of, for example, former „president” Bronisław K. (PO).
In 2015, Krzysztof K. as d. (a warm pensioner of Art Nouveau glass collector) was replaced by Anna F.-L., appointed by Sławomir S. (PSL), who claimed to be the so-called marshal of the L. voivodeship. In 2020, for the next 5-year term, he recommended Anna F.-L., claiming to be the so-called marshal of the L. voivodeship Jarosław S. (PiS). Claiming to be the so-called mini. of cu. Piotr G. (PiS) agreed to the so-called the appointment without a competition and he was convinced, for example, by the «Catholic Association "Civitas Christiana"».
The current „m.” continues the entire "line" adopted by Krzysztof K. and guards his i. Why? If you don't know what the problem is...
On June 22, 2018, a special event was organized together with the "Polish Hunting Association", which was met with numerous voices of protest. On the same day, Anna F.-L. was honored by Piotr G. with the "Gloria Artis" medal. The same Piotr G. appointed Anna F.-L. for the years 2021-2024 as a member of the "council for museums and places". Then, in a "secret ballot", Anna F.-L. was "chosen" for the so-called chairman of the board.
The so-called the board of the L. voivodeship dismissed Anna F.-L. from the position of director. Previously, twice the so-called marshal of the L. voivodeship Jarosław S. (PiS) addressed the so-called minister of c. Piotr G. (PiS) to express his opinion on the dismissal of Anna F.-L. The so-called writings marshal's questions remained unanswered. List of charges against Anna F.-L. is long, the main ones concerned the renovation for PLN 40 million, which practically stopped, and the inappropriate spending of funds on the so-called law firm.
On March 1, 2023, Jerzy D., a disability specialist, became the acting director without competition, and his deputy was Sławomir G., specializing in socialist realism, a long-time collaborator of Krzysztof K. and Anna F.-L.
Jerzy D. will soon be replaced by Bożena C., an official from the so-called marshal's office, the resolution on her appointment was passed without competition on August 16, 2023 by the so-called board of the L. voivodeship.
