Люксембу́ргский сад — дворцово-парковый ансамбль в центре Парижа, известная достопримечательность города. Бывший королевский, а ныне государственный дворцовый парк в парижском Латинском квартале занимает площадь в 26 гектаров. В парке расположен Люксембургский дворец, в котором заседает Сенат, вторая палата французского парламента.
Люксембургский сад с севера ограничен одноимённым дворцом и «Малым дворцом» , который является официальной резиденцией президента Сената, оранжереей и Люксембургским музеем , а с востока — Парижской высшей национальной школой горного дела . Сад можно условно разделить на две части: вокруг дворца расположены разбитые ещё в XVII в. в строго геометрическом порядке и в классическом французском стиле клумбы и террасы, в восточной и юго-восточной части возникла более поздняя парковая зона в английском стиле.
Охотничий дворец Груневальд — самый древний из сохранившихся дворцов Берлина. Он расположен на юго-восточном берегу Груневальдского озера в районе Далем.
Охотничий дворец был построен в 1542—1543 годах предположительно по проекту архитектора Каспара Тейсса. Заказчиком строительства выступил бранденбургский курфюрст Иоахим II Гектор. Здание в стиле раннего ренессанса получило название «У зелёного леса» и дало название всему лесному массиву Груневальд . К 1800 году Груневальдом стали называть и сам дворец. В 1705—1708 годах дворец был перестроен по указанию первого прусского короля Фридриха придворным архитектором Мартином Грюнбергом и приобрёл элементы барокко.
С 1932 года дворец находится в ведении Фонда прусских дворцов и садов Берлина — Бранденбурга и используется как музей. Помимо многочисленных картин Лукаса Кранаха Старшего и его сына в экспозиции музея дворца Груневальд представлены произведения нидерландской и немецкой живописи XV—XIX веков. Посетители могут также осмотреть единственный в Берлине зал эпохи Ренессанса. Во флигеле с 1977 года работает выставка охотничьих принадлежностей.

Hartlepool is a port town in County Durham, England. The town lies on the North Sea coast, 17 miles north of Middlesbrough and 20 miles south of Sunderland. The town is governed as part of the Borough of Hartlepool, a unitary authority which also administers outlying villages such as Seaton Carew, Greatham, Hart Village, Dalton Piercy and Elwick.
Hartlepool was founded in the 7th century, around the monastery of Hartlepool Abbey. The village grew in the Middle Ages and its harbour served as the official port of the County Palatine of Durham. After a railway link from the north was established from the South Durham coal fields, an additional link from the south, in 1835, together with a new port, resulted in further expansion, with the new town of West Hartlepool. England's Industrialisation and the start of a shipbuilding industry in the later part of the 19th century caused Hartlepool to be a target for the Imperial German Navy at the beginning of the First World War. A bombardment of 1,150 shells on 16 December 1914 resulted in the death of 117 people. A severe decline in heavy industries and shipbuilding following the Second World War caused periods of high unemployment until the 1990s when major investment projects and the redevelopment of the docks area into a marina saw a rise in the town's prospects.

The Figge Art Museum is an art museum in Davenport, Iowa. The Figge, as it is commonly known, has an encyclopedic collection and serves as the major art museum for the eastern Iowa and western Illinois region. The Figge works closely with several regional universities and colleges as an art resource and collections hub for a number of higher education programs.
The museum opened on August 6, 2005, and is the renamed successor to the Davenport Museum of Art, which was opened on October 10, 1928, as the Davenport Municipal Art Gallery. The museum has its roots in the Davenport Art Association, which was founded before February 23, 1878, and was re-located on November 15, 1889, to the Bianca Wheeler art studio. The Figge Art Museum is one of the oldest art institutions in the country and is considered the first municipal art gallery in the United States. The Figge won an AIA award.The new building was designed by Stirling Prize-winning Modernist British architect David Chipperfield. It was Chipperfield's first architectural commission in the United States. The Figge Art Museum gets its name from the V.O. and Elizabeth Kahl Figge Foundation, which donated $13 million towards its $47 million construction. The Figge family, a local banking family of Swiss origin, has a long tradition of philanthropy and cultural enrichment.
The first pieces of its collections were donated by Davenport community leader Charles Ficke , a successful lawyer and former mayor, who collected art from around the world. Robert E. Harsche, then Director of the Art Institute of Chicago, reported that to his knowledge no American public art gallery had "started out with so large a number of important paintings as a nucleus."
