But before we continue with our educational offerings, heres a brief overview of what you should know about munich. Munich is the capital of the state of varia, and lies in southern germany within sight of the alps. About one and a half 1000000 people live here and over 8000000, tourists passing through the city annually. Munich is probably best known for the Worlds Largest beer festival, the october fest. But visitors to the city will find much more than just typical bavarian kaleri treats. There are also many sides to see. For instance, the franco here to victor alley unlocked and audience cuts. Munich also has an impressive array of art venues. Over 60 museums and galleries vie for attention. Here. Im going to spend some time in one of those museums. Because i want to learn about the art in munich, a good 700 paintings by european artists from the 14th to the 18th centuries are exhibited here. And im getting a private tour from arjen story, and shell be revealing some of the secrets of the idea. Takes treasures through if not for the 1st. Lets have a look at this world famous selfportrait of i, but i still have my number one morpheme. It is the selfportrait with fur trimmed robe. Why did i do a pinch himself in this pose . A poor little mind cannot rely on the fact that time artists were more or less unknown nameless, and they were considered craftsman. And the way i do have represented himself here was something completely new. Oh yes, thats all he knew for a year 50. That is, this reprint ation of himself, bears a resemblance to christ for whom, until that point, frankly, perspectives like this have been reserved to be could you take a picture of me with you can see to get with the conceited you got the next painting is by i wished id offer. It depicts the famous battle of alexander, of, in the year 333 pct. Then he just because im also just a quick look at the painting. Can you point out alexander, to me, if i dont find that hes on that rick . Sure thing. Which is being pulled by 3 horses, that guy birch about the others and im guessing thats him if you think so his rather prominent but interesting you, thats actually darrius. I picked the loser of the battle in the cloud on the shores me, but it happens to a lot of museum visitors. Im not down for me, its hard to overlook the coat hanging down from the tablets. And if you follow the cord straight down, it will lead you to alexander sitting on a horse. Its as if your eye is being directed to way you should look in the picture. Next comes this huge painting the last judgment by peter paul. And when it is seen, you know, when that now or in the 17th century, the 30 years will that this was the tallest work and it determines the proportions here. If thats a clue, its really the most magnetic selfimage you hear in the future could take. I think you go to imagine how many people pose in front of it all was the last judgment of all things. Thats my cue. Im not the only one learning something you educational trip to munich. So did a tour group from the us . Well, they were not on their own, but with colder. Thats a nonprofit educational travel organization. And we tagged along with a guy, john langton in showing a group of american travelers. One of unix most popular attractions, the famous glockenspiel on the Old Town Hall at murphy implats. But this is a very particular group of tourists because the diversity of people who come people who are on the whole well educated reflection of what happens in the case and knowledgeable people. But also people who are inquiring the new people who want to see something new and perhaps hear a different perspective. This group of knowledge hungry americans is on a weeklong tour of munich into the area organized by road scholar. This spending an entire day on the site in munich city center. This is Rhodes Scholar was founded with the intention of providing educational adventures for older age groups based on the idea of lifelong learning. And its a nonprofit organization. So the revenues from these trips can fund other social projects and new programs as well.

This was a bit more thorough, hes got more background, its much better than sitting home reading about things. Just go places and it becomes interesting and touches you. And then you go back and you can open my mind. For most of these 9 people, seeing that theres a dense was the highlights of the day, its the foremost city palettes of the varian, princes, and kings. The group visits only a few special rooms, such as the antiquarian, but the explanations are comprehensive. Carolyn anderson has done a lot of educational travelling and in 38 trips. Yeah, i like growth scholar. Ive been many points of almost 8 hours. The tour is nearing the end. But everyone in the group is still listening intently. And one should never underestimate travelers, insurance and thirst for knowledge. Learning about the history of a place is often the focus of an educational trip. In germany, the nazi period in particular has left its mark on many cities in the country. And that includes munich. I want to know more about that. So i decided to spend some time at the Munich Documentation Center for the history of National Socialism near the cute exploits
