The Museum of the Holy Souls in Purgatory - Rome

The ‘ Museum of the Holy Souls in Purgatory’ housed in a room of the small neo-Gothic church of the Sacred Heart of Suffrage (Chiesa del Sacro Cuore del Suffragio) in Rome, Italy on March 5, 2025 is one of a kind in the world as it pretends to offer undeniable proofs of the existence of Purgatory. - Pictured: The fire imprint left by a finger of Sister Maria di San Luigi Gonzaga, who appeared to Sister Maria del Sacro Cuore in 1894 in Bastia (Perugia, Italy). The report of the fact preserved in the monastery of Santa Chiara of the Child Jesus tells how Sister Marie suffering from tuberculosis died in 1894. She appeared in the following night to the amazed Sister Margherita and explained that she was in Purgatory. She asked for suffrage prayers and to attest to the reality of her apparition, she placed her index finger on the cushion cover and promised to return. - The tiny century-old ‘Piccolo Museo Del Purgatorio’ holds a collection of bibles, prayer books, tabletops, and articles of clothing said to have be

Gustave Caillebotte Retrospective - Paris

Visitors look on Gustave Caillebotte’s paintings at the Musee d’Orsay on November 27, 2024 in Paris, France. For around a century, Gustave Caillebotte was the most discreet of the Impressionists, only coming back into the spotlight in 1994, when the Grand Palais in Paris celebrated the centenary of his death in 1894 through a memorable retrospective. Ever since, the French painter has been the subject of several exhibitions from London to Washington, D.C. to Switzerland. Now, the Musee d’Orsay in Paris, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and the Art Institute of Chicago have joined forces to examine Caillebotte anew, with a sweeping retrospective “Painting Men,” which runs through January in Paris, before heading to LA next spring and then Chicago next summer. Despite the acclaim the artist has received over the past three decades, he still remains a bit of a mystery, a major focus of the exhibition which also coincides with the 130th anniversary of the artist’s passing.
