Und welches Land wäre besser dazu geeignet, den barocken Rausch der Sinne nachzuerleben, als Bayern, das wie kein zweites so nachhaltig durch die Barockzeit geprägt wurde, man ...

In The Lands Of The Enchanted Moorish Maiden
If such were the aim, Portugal could offer the ideal place to test the validity of a co-ordinated approach to the promotion of culture based on advances in scientific research and development of public awareness. The case of Islamic art in the land of the ancient Gharb al-Andalus, this extreme western fringe of the Muslim territory in the Middle Ages, is particularly revealing in this co ...

Gli Omayyadi
La Nascita dell'Arte IslamicaLungi dall'abolire la libertà di culto e di minare l'impianto delle città esistenti, gli Omayyadi riconobbero a pieno titolo il linguaggio estetico in vigore al loro arrivo in Giordania (661) e ne reinventarono le forme con strabiliante libertà di espressione. Anche se breve (meno di 90 anni) il periodo di governo dei califfi Omayyadi, resta fondamentale nella storia dell'Islam. Nello ...

Early Ottoman Art
Legacy of the EmiratesThe apogee of Soliman's reign has for a long time obscured the various seminal disruptions brought into Anatolia by the precursors of the empire. Amongst these were the first Turkish emirates who took advantage of an ebbing Byzantine empire in order to establish themselves in the peninsula. The Ottoman dynasty would of course have the most celebrated destiny, but the architectural, artis ...

Andalusian Morocco
A Discovery in living artAs early as the beginning of the eighth century, having just reached this extreme territory of the Maghreb, Moroccan Islam started to cast its eye to the other side of the Straits of Gibraltar and shortly after set foot on the Iberian Peninsula.

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
