With the MWNF Travel Books each country becomes an exhibition with no frontiers!
All MWNF Travel books are dedicated to a particular country and period and have been compiled, written and illustrated by the academics and photographers of that country.
Most titles are available in several languages, some now also as eBooks and Print on Demand (PoD).
MWNF Travel Books can be used as thematic guides for a new philosophy of travelling “by theme” or to complement traditional guides.
But you can also enjoy them as an armchair traveller: readable texts and excellent photography will accompany you on imaginary tours through museums, monuments and archaeological sites and unveil their historical and cultural context from the local perspective.
The MWNF Travel Books are also academic reference books and most of them are the first publication on the topic.
The books are aimed at people who are interested in history and art, who are aware that mutual understanding requires knowing also the “other's” point of view and who are seeking new travel experiences.
We look forward to welcoming you on our “Exhibition Trails”: exhibitions that invite you, the visitor, to travel around to see the works of art in situ rather than in a static exhibition.
If you wish to know more about tours organised in connection with our Exhibition Trails by our local partner travel agents, please visit http://www.mwnftravels.net
