The 11-tonne tree was placed in front of the centre using a crane and is topped by a huge star containing as many as three million crystals. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said that every year, like a child, he still wonders when the lights on the Christmas tree will be turned on, and that this year in particular he wants that to be a big event, considering the pandemic that has hit the whole world. HATS OFF The cap, hat and scarf have traversed the path from the practical to the bizarre and back, thus becoming a way of communicating one’s own uniqueness with the world. Covering or revealing the head can show a lot – complex moral and aesthetic forms, religious, national or class affiliations, people’s economic position etc. And revealing the flow of this journey in different cultures over the last hundred years is the exhibition “Hats off! The story about (un)covering one’s head”. The exhibition runs until the end of December at the Zagreb Ethnographic Museum, which is commemorating its 100th anniversary. SHAKESPEARE’S BOOKSHOP Paris isn’t just the Eiffel Tower, high fashion and a glass of wine, but also the famous Shakespeare and Company bookshop, which is extremely well known among book lovers. Located on the left bank of the Seine, it was opened back in 1951 by American soldier GeorgeWhitman. It became the centre of bohemian culture in Paris soon after its opening, visited by famous writers like Henry Miller, Alain Ginsberg and Anais Nin. Many writers often slept overnight in the bookshop, with Whitman asking them to write their one-page autobiography for the bookshop’s archive in exchange for free accommodation. And that’s why today it is a kind of museum of valuable writings and books. Razglednica/Postcard NJUJORK / NEWYORK Božićna jelka od 11 tona Čuvena božićna jelka ispred Rokfeler centra zasijaće i ove godine početkom decembra. Stablo od 11 tona dizalicom je postavljeno ispred centra, a na njegovom vrhu nalazi se ogromna zvezda, koja sadrži čak tri miliona kristala. Bil de Blazio, gradonačelnik Njujorka, izjavio je da se još svake godine poput deteta pita kad će svetla na jelci biti uključena, kao i da ove godine posebno želi da to bude veliki događaj, s obzirom na pandemiju koja je zadesila ceo svet. ZAGREB / ZAGREB Kapa dole Kapa, šešir i marama prešli su put od praktičnog do bizarnog i nazad, postavši tako način komuniciranja vlastite posebnosti sa svetom. Pokrivanje ili otkrivanje glave može da pokaže mnogo toga – složene moralne i estetske forme, versku, nacionalnu ili klasnu pripadnost, ekonomski položaj... Kako je tekao taj put u različitim kulturama u poslednjih 100 godina, otkriva izložba Kapa dole! Priča o (ne)pokrivanju glave. Izložba je otvorena do kraja decembra u Etnografskommuzeju u Zagrebu, koji obeležava 100. godišnjicu. PARIZ / PARIS Šekspirova knjižara Pariz nisu samo Ajfelov toranj, visoka moda, čaša vina već i čuvena knjižara Shakespeare and Company, koja je ljubiteljima knjiga i te kako poznata. Nalazi se na levoj obali Sene, a otvorio ju je još 1951. američki vojnik Džordž Vitman. Ubrzo nakon otvaranja postala je centar boemske kulture u Parizu, a posećivali su je i slavni pisci poput Henrija Milera, Alena Ginzberga, Anais Nin. U knjižari su neretko mnogi pisci spavali, a Vitman je u zamenu za besplatan smeštaj tražio da napišu svoju autobiografiju na jednoj stranici za arhivu knjižare. Tako danas predstavlja svojevrstan muzej vrednih spisa i knjiga.
