FINE 394 Art History Abroad
Destination-Berlin
Reading week Feb.11-21st 2010, students from the University of Waterloo invloved with either German courses or Art History, ventured to Berlin. This trip was an incredible experience, full of galleries, museums, schnitzel, and tons of delicious german beer. This 10 day trip was jam-packed with experiencing the art history of germany, a country where art culture is everywhere. The first two days were comprised of uncomfortable traveling, a poor experience of getting "gummed" on the plane, yes, I sat in gum for the majority of the flight, and getting settled into our hotel in Berlin.
