Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh is one of India’s most breathtaking high-altitude destinations, offering a rare blend of rugged beauty, ancient culture, and spiritual calm. Often called the “Middle Land” between India and Tibet, Spiti is defined by stark mountains, deep gorges, crystal-clear rivers, and wide open skies that seem endless.
The region is home to centuries-old Buddhist monasteries such as Key, Tabo, and Dhankar, where visitors can witness daily monastic life and experience profound tranquility. Adventure seekers are drawn to Spiti for its dramatic road journeys, trekking routes, mountain biking trails, and high-altitude lakes like Chandratal. Meanwhile, photographers and nature lovers find inspiration in the valley’s ever-changing colors, from golden deserts to snow-capped peaks.
Despite its remote setting, Spiti offers warm hospitality through homestays and small guesthouses that provide authentic local experiences. Whether you seek solitude, adventure, culture, or stunning landscapes, Spiti Valley promises a soul-stirring journey unlike any other in India.
Studio GOGO’s Lego jewellery reimagines playful childhood memories as contemporary wearable art. Based in Berlin and women-owned, the label transforms iconic Lego-style bricks into handcrafted rings and accessories in quality metals like sterling silver, marrying nostalgia with refined design.
Each piece features a LEGO-compatible surface, so you can snap on classic colored studs or other small elements, making the jewellery modular, interactive, and personal – it’s jewellery you play with, not just wear. This clever twist turns a familiar childhood toy into a daily accessory that reflects mood, outfit or memory, creating joy through color and creativity as you style it.
Studio GOGO’s designs blend minimalist modern craft with tactile fun: clean silver or gold settings provide a refined backdrop for the bright, geometric bricks. Whether minimalist or expressive, each piece celebrates imagination and storytelling, inviting wearers to carry a bit of playfulness into adult life.
The Yayoi Kusama exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler in Riehen, near Basel, Switzerland, was a major retrospective. It marks the first time a Swiss museum dedicates an entire show to this iconic Japanese artist, offering a sweeping overview of her more than seven-decade-long career.
Occupying ten galleries and extending into the museum’s garden, the exhibition brought together over 300 works, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, installations, performance pieces, and early works never before seen in Europe. Highlights included Kusama’s signature polka dot motifs, Infinity Nets, and immersive Infinity Mirror Rooms, including a new mirrored environment created especially for the show.
Curated in close collaboration with the artist and her studio, this exhibition celebrated Kusama’s creative evolution and her profound influence on contemporary art. The retrospective continues to Museum Ludwig in Cologne and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam as part of its European tour.
