 After visiting the website of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the most interesting piece of art is The Golden Fleece. This artwork was painted by Tom Roberts in 1894, and I think that is the most interesting one because of the strong cultural meaning it has.  This painting shows a scene where workers are shown shearing sheep during a busy day. The thing that  drew my attention the most  is the way that Roberts capture the movement, the light and the atmosphere. You can almost fell the heat, the dust in the air and the intensity of the physical work. The composition is dynamic and full of life, but carefully structured, and that is what shows the ability and the attention of the artist.  What I would highlighted from the Art Gallery of New SouthWales is how it’s collection balances with the exit the Australian heritage with the International Art. Although the gallery includes important European contemporary paintings, pieces such as The Golden Fleece stand o...

Queen Victoria Building is one of the most important shopping centers in Sydney. I have never been there, but I have visited all the websites about it and I saw that it has more than 200 shops inside. There are lots of shops of clothes, make up, jewelry, perfumes, etc. I have been looking at all of them, but the one that impressed me the most was Kitten D’amour.  Kitten D’amour is a shop that only sells feminine clothes and accessories. It is an australian  brand and  sells women's clothing and accessories inspired by vintage styles, but  each design is produced in limited quantities to maintain exclusivity.  It is my favorite shop in Queen Victoria Building because it is unique and makes you feel special. I love vintage clothes, and this shop is perfect for it. Also it sells jewelry and I love the necklaces and earrings of that shop because of the originality that they have. So I really recommend you to visit this shop, if you want to look up for it, click...
