Steichen wasn't just focused on the American scene; he had an international lens on his artistic microscope. He organised shows and made crucial acquisitions from Europe and Latin America, sometimes even hopping on a plane to do so. Under his reign, the Department published three books, including the famous "The Family of Man." Despite his solid career, Steichen did the ultimate flex – he held a retrospective of his own work, "Steichen the Photographer," at MoMA. And when did he decide to do this? Only after announcing his retirement in 1961. Because, you know, retirement is for those who need a break, not for the photography maestros. Find out more at www.bourgmeisterin.com!

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Luxembourgerica, there lived a wizard named Édouard (Edward) Jean Steichen. But hold on, he wasn't your typical robe-clad, wand-waving wizard – oh no, he was a photographer, painter, and curator extraordinaire! This guy, Steichen, was basically the OG of turning pictures into highbrow masterpieces. He practically sprinkled fairy dust on snapshots and turned them into art. Alfred Stieglitz, the godfather of photography, practically had Steichen's photos on his bedroom walls. LeBron of photography, no less💪 Find out more at www.bourgmeisterin.com!

The curtain lifted, and on September 12, 2005, Radio Luxembourg made a soft comeback in English at the crack of dawn. The airwaves were alive with the promise of a new era. At one point, Radio Luxembourg grooved at 7295 kHz in the DRM realm, but alas, RTL pulled the plug on that frequency, leaving the fate of the DRM station hanging in the radio air. The plot thickened as local DRM broadcasts continued to echo in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, keeping the dream alive, at least locally. Find out more at www.bourgmeisterin.com!
