Euromaxx Highlights
March 28, 2015Städel Museum’s On-Line Tour
On it's 200th anniversary, the Städel (Staedel) Museum in Frankfurt am Main is looking ahead rather than back: it's making itself accessible online through a digital extension. Visitors can now virtually visit the museum! Euromaxx finds out the details.
Miniature Street Art
British Artist Slinkachu has made a name for himself with his tiny, charming works of art, known as Little People. He puts them in public places throughout the city, photographs the mini-scenarios and then leaves them there, for the lucky passerby to discover! A new exhibition of his photos in London is entitled "Miniaturesque".
The Bicycle as a Design Statement
The bicycle is no longer just a mode of transportation, but also a style statement and a way of life. Now, environmentally friendly bikes made of renewable materials like bamboo or wood, or bikes out of recycled auto-parts are making inroads! Industrial designer and boat-builder Jan Gunneweg makes exclusive bikes out of walnut wood costing up to 16,000 Euros!
Fairy Tale Sweden
Småland in southern Sweden is a region of unspoiled nature and traditionally painted wooden houses. It is famous for its hand-blown glass and story-telling. This is where children's book author Astrid Lindgren grew up. Join us for a magical journey through Småland.
