For some it is a world of hairy toes, of strange and magical creatures that they just don't quite get. For others it is an entire wondrous universe of Middle Earth and Hobbits. The creations of J. R.

The 10 best family city breaks in Europe
The 10 best family city breaks in Europe
1. Paris, France
Paris has absolutely tons of things for kids to do, from ogling giant whale skeletons at the Museum of Natural History’s Palaeontology and Comparative Anatomy Gallery to exploring the wonderfully quirky Magic Museum , which boasts a collection of more than 100 bizarre mechanical figurines as well as all sorts of curious magic knick knacks.
Meanwhile, Parc de la Villette is home to the mother of all playgrounds in the form of the Jardin des Dunes et des Vents, which features giant hamster wheels, a zip line and all sorts of things for kids to clamber over.
2. Rome, Italy
The Leonardo Da Vinci Museum features more than 200 machines designed by the Renaissance genius, as well as 51 working models. Kids will be fascinated by his exotic designs for war machines, helicopters and gliders.
You’ll need to get up pretty early to climb the cupola of St Peter’s Basilica in The Vatican, as the queues can quickly become enormous, but it’s more than worth it for the views from the top of this enormous church, which tops out at just over 136 metres.
3. Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen is packed with things to do for families. For a start, it’s home to not one, but two amusement parks. Bakken, ten minutes’ drive north of the city, is the world’s oldest amusement park, dating back to 1583. The main attraction is an 82-year-old wooden rollercoaster, but the park’s location in the middle of Dyrehavsbakken wood offers some relaxing strolls along with thrill rides.
4. Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Amsterdam may conjure up images of liberal drug laws and carnal delights, but don’t be fooled – the city is actually a haven for children.
The lack of traffic and plethora of waterways make it a delight for families to walk around – or even better, bike. Bicycle rental shops are scattered across Amsterdam, with the most famous probably being Yellow Bike, and taking to two wheels is the perfect way to explore the city’s canals.
5. Barcelona, Spain
The Antoní Gaudi-designed Parc Guell in Barcelona is a great place for kids to explore thanks to its colourful mosaic and fanciful lizard statues, and it provides great views across the city, too.
Elsewhere, the Aquarium is stuffed with more than 450 different animal species that will get the kids oohing and aahing in wonder – especially as they walk through the 80-metre underwater tunnel while sharks and rays glide overhead.
6. Berlin, Germany
On windy days, children of all ages head to Tempelhofer Feld to fly kites, but even when the wind is calm you can find plenty of Berliners engaging in all sorts of sporty activities in this enormous park.
Children and adults alike will find plenty to fascinate them in the excellent DDR Museum, which features recreations of German homes during the days of communist East Germany (the DDR), along with quirky insights into daily life.
7. Lisbon, Portugal
Simply getting around in Lisbon can be a fun family activity: the distinctive red trams shunt their way past all of the major historical sights, and a day ticket will let you hop on and off anywhere you like for 24 hours.
But even more fun is a ride on one of the amphibious vehicles operated by Hippotrip. The aquatic bus tours the city’s landmarks before taking a dramatic plunge into the waters of the River Tagus.
8. Brussels, Belgium
Belgium is synonymous with chocolate, and Brussels has a museum dedicated to the stuff in the form of The Choco Story, with live chocolate-making sessions and an exhibition about the history of the cocoa bean – and a chance to sample the goods, of course.
Once they’ve satisfied their chocolate cravings, kids will want to make a beeline for the Comics Art Museum, where they’ll find a permanent exhibition on Hergé, creator of Tintin, as well as a look at the origin of comic strips.
9. Gothenburg, Sweden
Thanks to its relatively small population of just over 500,000 people, Gothenburg is one of Europe’s less frantic major cities, making it ideal for a relaxed family trip. The city is famed for its buzzing café culture and gorgeous green spaces, and the narrow cobbled streets and squares of the city can easily be traversed on foot.
Trädgårdsföreningen park is an elegant botanical garden that features a nineteenth-century palm house built in the style of London’s long-lost Crystal Palace, and it makes an ideal place for a family picnic.
10. Dubrovnik, Croatia
This beautiful city boasts a clutch of fantastic beaches in addition to a plethora of buildings dating back to the Middle Ages. In fact, you may have seen the city’s medieval walls already – they appear on TV’s Game of Thrones from season two onwards as the fictional city of King’s Landing. You can get a feel for the layout of the city and its famous walls by heading up Mount Srd on the cable car.
The DM Zone: Painting A Masterpiece with Master Artist Ed Copley
Dianemarie (DM) Collins, the host of The DM Zone, shares her experience with commissioning a custom portrait from Ed Copley, the direct descendant of American master portrait artist John Singleton Copley.
Ed Copley, considered a Master artist whose work is collected around the globe, is now recognized as a Living Master, a very elite award from The Art Renewal Center. But the genes of artistic genius that make Ed Copley (edcopleyfineart.com) one of world's finest painters are more than just heredity.
Known as a modern-day old master, Copley paints with an 'old master' technique - mixing his own paints, adding glazes, stretching his own canvas and even carving a frame for that special masterpiece. As for Ed Copley's artistic genes, John Singleton Copley ( was the greatest American painter of the 18th century. His great, great, great grandson Ed Copley exquisitely follows in those footsteps in the 21st century.
Ed Copley Gallery at the Art Renewal Center:
I am very pleased that our esteemed judges saw fit to give Ed the title of ARC Associate Living Master™ and welcome him to the elite group of living artists shown in the ARC Museum. The process for acceptance into the ARC Living Artist and Master's Gallery ™ is a rigorous one, where an artist's work must be reviewed by a panel of at least four Judges who consist of well published art scholars and master instructors whose presage is undeniable, said Kara Lysandra Ross, Director of Operations for the Art Renewal Center.
Ross continues, His work now appears on our website as does the work of his Grandfather, John Singleton Copley. Although their work is clearly from two different time periods, it is always a pleasure to see that the artistic quality in the family remained fully intact. Ed is a wonderful addition to the ARC family and we are looking forward to his newest works and exhibitions.
With a classical attention to composition, meticulous attention to his use of light and devotion to the Old World application and mixing of his own pigments, Copley paintings are masterpieces. He also uses a glazing technique which develops richness in detail and color without the use of heavy applications of paint. But because it is such a slow process, few artists choose to use it at the present time. Ten feature videos on Ed Copley are here:
Our Last Tango - in Australian cinemas 24 March!
In Buenos Aires in the 1940s, she was the most beautiful girl in the neighbourhood. He could not dance at all. But they had a dream. Together they changed the history of tango.
The feature documentary film, directed by German Kral and executive produced by Wim Wenders (Pina, Buena Vista Social Club), tells the story of María Nieves Rego and Juan Carlos Copes, the two most famous dancers in tango’s history.
María Nieves Rego (80) and Juan Carlos Copes (83) met as teenagers, and danced together for nearly fifty years. Now, Juan and María are willing to open up about their love, their hatred, and their passion. Our Last Tango bridges the gap between generations, as Juan and Maria tell their story to a group of young tango dancers and choreographers from Buenos Aires, who transform the most beautiful, moving and dramatic moments of Juan and Maria’s lives into incredible tango-choreographies.
These beautifully shot choreographies compliment the soul-searching interviews and documentary moments of the film to make this an unforgettable journey into the heart of the tango.
“Engrossing… balances between a studious fascination with the dance form’s history and an embrace of the passions it stokes.” Hollywood Reporter

Leonardo da Vinci: Images from the Future by Funky Fox Machines - Immersive installation
Emmanuel Exbrayat is a multifaceted artist: a cutting-edge technology creator, a composer and a musician, a story-teller, an explorer of digital arts... he likes to combine all of these components to create interactive artistic installations that never fail to amaze.
His work at Sheffield’s DINA is the result of the first part of a residency, responding to an open call initiated by the Italian festival INVISIBLE CITIES, Museums Sheffield, and Dr Tim Shephard in the Department of Music at the University of Sheffield. The process will continue in July, in Gorizia, Italy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Leonardo da Vinci was arguably the greatest artist that ever lived. Twelve of his most extraordinary drawings are on display in Sheffield as part of the major nationwide exhibition marking the 500th anniversary of his death, Leonardo da Vinci: A Life in Drawing. Both a scientist and an artist, he devoted a great part of his life to observation of all the movements that set our world in motion.
Leonardo was always fascinated by waves, whether in water or in sound and music, and he used the results of his observations to create drawings of unprecedented accuracy. Inspired by the drawings of flowing water in the Sheffield exhibition, artist Emmanuel Exbrayat wondered what Leonardo would have created in response to water if he had had access to our current technology.
Through a combination of visual art and music, his purpose was for people to understand and play with everyday movements that, when consciously executed, prove to be an essential part of the harmony perceived by Leonardo in nature, something that can also be compelling in the modern day.
This fully interactive exhibition allowed the audience, alongside the artist, to explore the sound of water, every touch triggering sounds and images – like echoing and refracting waves.

Vincent Van Gogh Oil Painting
Van Gogh committed himself to an asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence later that year and there he painted Starry Night, one of historys most influential artworks. He left the asylum in 1890 and in July of that year attempted suicide by shooting himself in the chest. He died two days later from the wound aged 37.Van Goghs closest brother, Theo died just six months later and his widow published van Goghs work, gaining his the recognition he longed for.
By the time of his death, Van Gogh's work had begun to attract critical attention. His paintings were featured at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris between 1888 and 1890. As Gauguin wrote to him, his recent works, on view at the Independents in Paris, were regarded by many artists as the most striking in the show; and one of his paintings sold from the 1890 exhibition in Brussels. In January 1890, the critic Albert Aurier published the first full-length article on Van Gogh, aligning his art with the nascent Symbolist movement and highlighting the originality and intensity of his artistic vision. By the outbreak of World War I, with the discovery of his genius by the Fauves and German Expressionists, Vincent van Gogh had already come to be regarded as a vanguard figure in the history of modern art.
