Other things the focus is on 15 milestones of automotive history people want to express here is to show in surprising and different ways that the automobile over the course of its history a relatively short history that is 130 years has had so much profound impact on the world around us exhibits include the bends patents motive which took to the streets as the 1st car in 886. 00 and the ford model t. Starting in 1913 henry ford had it built on a moving Assembly Line and launched the era of world wide mass production the exhibition shows the influence of widely varying design disciplines they looked at ford and what had been achieved there with the model t. So you find a lot of designers who are thinking about what the future of design might be so you know about house designers in particular what we showcase in the exhibition they start to think about standardize ation as a way of producing more good small quickly and what they were really interested in was thinking about how basic design could be made cheaper and more available to most peoples in 1922 this Hispano Suisun model inspired an entirely different trend now one of the most expensive vintage cars its the in 41. 00 to every luxury these cars would be precomputed the spoke to the to the owner so they would have chosen the colors the upholstery was exactly what type of finish they wanted and not kind of like you know what this idea of the fashion in car design im sorry if we just move over to this section really good see this both the fashion starting with the products like im you know companies begin to monoculture products even when i was driving into a lot of troops from bill for example this book rico but whats really interesting is that car designers started so bored from the fashion world and the way that you have seasonal changes in order to influence that car design.

Bumps the problems course began mounting congested roads and negative effects on the environment now more and more developers began dreaming of sikkim and attacks. That could be again a scene bold freedom again because you dont. Get stuck in traffic we can design a better world. Anyways to do that but i think we can draw a lot of lessons from the changes and the impact the car has had on the past 130 years of history both for good and for bad to understand how we might think again the future of mobility watch when i am ability in the future is the low emissions and taxi just a dream or a real crime.

Hardly any artist could handle light and shadow as muscle fully as they are numerous celebrations to mock the 350th anniversary of his death throughout the netherlands the country where he lived and work we visited our neighbors to find out more about this famous. Artist rembrandt harmans on fun running as a National Hero in the netherlands using just a few color pigments he made his canvases shine like almost nobody before him. Now 350 years after his death his fame lives on. His most famous painting the night watch hangs in amsterdams Rights Museum and is now undergoing restoration. A laser scan the painting and analyze the chemical elements and the layers of paint. But does that tell us anything about rembrandts genius. To slow down so both the announcers to paint such a huge picture has to sketch the composition 1st out some other example of 1st you position the end science flag on the left different its. Place to kind of begin cut on the famous to go he owes money as ink on. He developed this picture successively as he was painting it looks and its very exciting to see this Development Process because and if you find out how rembrandt thought which decisions he made and i was not a genocidal and if it is leyden rembrandts hometown lies about 40 kilometers south of amsterdam. He was born here in 1606 his parents house no longer stands. His fathers mill as a replica. But the latin school young rembrandt attended still exists. In just around the corner so does the studio where he learned to paint. A playful video tells the story of his life 17th century students of painting had to learn several genres such as landscape in history painting and portraits. Even as a boy rembrandt made portraits of himself he may have been honing his particular talent capturing the emotions. We. Lived in was a liberal University Town had achieved prosperity through weaving in trading and cloth many artists lived here. I think he mustve been very driven a very driven personality intellectual personality he wanted to become famous so he was very ambitious and. And nothing could stand in his way to become the most famous painter i think it was already in his must have been in his head when he was a small boy.

This is actually the area where the family lived in a family life took place and this is also an area of success of happiness but also of great sorrow for example we have the box bed here where the family would sleep and this is also the area where remnants 1st died. So this is rembrandt studio this is actually the place where many of these masterpieces were in may and here we see a lovely corner where we can see how he worked with light and here he has a cloth hanging and this cloth softens the light so it filters the light coming in. Rembrandts genius extended to print making as well he generally made his actions himself using the method demonstrated to visitors of the rembrandt house museum. Good money could be made from a print series in those days even so toward the end of his life rembrandt was destitute you lived in a grand style and he also did not always pay his debts so part in part this collection was a part of his bankruptcy and had to be sold during his lifetime. His house and possessions were also sold off he moved to a foreign neighborhood and continued painting. He lived for are as shown by the masterpieces.
