WTR's Ernie Exhibit provides information on special current exhibitions for our featured museums.  Such as The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium

May 10 to January 29, 2019 see The New Berlin

The exhibition “The New Berlin” focuses on politicized art and the urban challenges of the modern but war-scarred metropolis between 1912 and 1932. Through paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs and films by artists such as Otto Dix, Raul Hausmann, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Kazimir Malevich, Alexander Rodchenko, …  the key movements and creative minds of this gripping period come alive again.
