the Venus de Milo, is an ancient Greek statue and one of the most famous works of ancient

 Architecture

The Helix Hotel in Abu Dhabi’s Zayed Bay doesn’t have floors like we’re used to – instead it
spirals in sections of a corkscrew from top to bottom with no clear breaks, flowing from retail to
residential, and hotel suites to saunas. The hollow center keeps foot traffic flowing while
infusing interior spaces with coastal air and natural light, while on the outside GROW panels are
fast at work harnessing solar and wind energy.
Minarets (Turkish: minare,[1] from Arabic manāra (lighthouse) ‫منننارة‬, usually ‫ )مئذنننة‬are
distinctive architectural features of Islamic mosques- generally tall spires withonion-shaped or
conical crowns, usually either free standing or taller than any associated support structure; the
basic form includes a base, shaft, and gallery. Styles vary regionally and by period. They provide
a visual focal point and are used for the call to prayer (adhan).

major plays by the Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov. The Seagull was written in 1895 and first

ingenue Nina, the fading actress Irina Arkadina, her son the symbolist playwright Konstantin
Treplyov, and the famous middlebrow story writer Trigorin.

Place premiered : Alexandrinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg, Russia

The Glass Menagerie[1] is a four-character memory play by Tennessee Williams. Williams
worked on various drafts of the play prior to writing a version of it as a screenplay for MGM, to
whom Williams was contracted. Initial ideas stemmed from one of his short stories, and the
screenplay originally went under the name of 'The Gentleman Caller' (Williams envisioned Ethel
Barrymore and Judy Garland for the roles that eventually became Amanda and Laura Wingfield
although Louis B. Mayer insisted on casting Greer Garson as Laura)
 Music

L'Orfeo (SV 318), sometimes called L'Orfeo, favola in musica, is an

early Baroque opera by Claudio Monteverdi, with a libretto by Alessandro Striggio. It is based
on the Greek legend of Orpheus, and tells the story of his descent to Hades and his fruitless
attempt to bring his dead bride Eurydice back to the living world. Written in 1607 for a court
performance during the annual Carnival at Mantua, L'Orfeo is one of the earliest music dramas
still regularly performed.

 Dance

Dance of Death commonly refers to the Danse Macabre, a late-medieval allegory of the
universality of death.
The basse danse, or "low dance", was the most popular court dance in the 15th and early 16th
centuries, especially at the Burgundian court, often in a combination of 6/4 and 3/2 time allowing
for use of hemiola. The word basse describes the nature of the dance, in which partners move
quietly and gracefully in a slow gliding or walking motion without leaving the floor, [1] and
contrasts with livelier dances in which both feet left the floor in jumps or leaps. The basse danse
later led to the development of the pavane.[1] The latter half of a basse danse consisted
occasionally of a tourdion, due to their contrasting tempi, and both were danced alongside the
Pavane and galliard, and the allemande and courante, also in pairs.[2] [2] The earliest record of a
basse danse dates to the 1320s and is found in an Occitan poem of Raimon de Cornet, who notes
that the joglars performed them.

Flemish engraving, showing a man leading a horse. It was made by the French
inventor Nicéphore Niépce in 1825, with an heliography technical process. The Bibliothèque
nationale de France bought it 450,000 € in 2002, deeming it as a "national treasure"
