German Conversations about Art and Culture: Museumsbesuche in Berlin *Online* *NEW*
March 10, 2022 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Die Alte Nationalgalerie zeigt im Herzen der Berliner Museumsinsel eine der bedeutendsten deutschen Sammlungen der Kunst des 19. Jahrhunderts. Dagegen ist der Hamburger Bahnhof ein „Museum für Gegenwart“. In diesem Kurs besuchen wir beide Museen virtuell: Wir erkunden die Museen, besprechen ausgewählte Kunstwerke und lernen Wissenswertes über berühmte und zeitgenössische Künstler. Every term new art works. For students with an intermediate or advanced level (CEFR B1 and above). Instructor: Petra Bittner
