Barock & Rokoko (Bayern Süd)
Baroque & RococoDie Sinne schwelgen zu lassen war das Ziel der barocken Kunst. Mit Hilfe prunkvollster Interieurs wurde in Kirchen und Schlössern jedermann die Herrlichkeit göttlicher und weltlicher Ordnung vor Augen geführt. 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 ...
Pilgrimage, Sciences and Sufism

For the faithful undertaking the hadj Palestine rap ...

El Marruecos Andalusí
El descubrimiento de un arte de vivirYa desde principios del siglo VIII, apenas instalado en este extremo del Magreb, el Islam puso sus ojos en el otro lado del estrecho de Gibraltar y emprendió sin demora el camino de la península ibérica. A partir de entonces y durante los ocho siglos siguientes, el destino de las dos orillas fue inseparable, y es esta cultura auténticamente hispano-magrebí la que examina el itinerar ...
El Arte Sículo-Normando
La cultura islámica en la Sicilia medievalConquistada por los aglabíes en el año 827 y en manos fatimíes desde 948, la conquista normanda expulsó finalmente a los musulmanes de la isla en 1061. Organizada administrativamente en tres “valles” (Val di Mazara, Val di Noto y Val Demone), la Sicilia islámica, recuperando algunos cánones bizantinos a veces impregnados de reminiscencias de la Antigüedad tardía, dejó numero ...
The Umayyads
The Rise of Islamic ArtFar from abolishing the freedom of local cults and undermining existing town plans, The Umayyads acknowledged the aesthetic language already in place on their arrival in Jordan (661), and re-invented its forms with an astonishing freedom of expression. Brief as their hegemony was (less than 90 years) the role of the Umayyad caliphs remains crucial in the history of Islam. By establishing ...

L'Arte Mudejar

Les Mudéjars étaient les musulmans autorisés à rester dans les territoires reconquis. Leurs artistes et artisans ont très fortement influencé la ...
Par les Terres de la Maure Enchantée
Le Portugal est un terrain hautement propice à de salutaires réévaluations, un endroit idéal pour débarrasser l'histoire de certains clichés dévastateurs : dans la péninsule Ibérique par exemple, la première grande rupture de civilisation eut lieu non pas dans le premier VIIIe siècle – une période traditionnellement associée à l'une des plus grandes “invasions” arabes ...

Mamluk Art
Splendour and Magic of the SultansFrom slaves to sultans, the history of the Mamluks is one of a prodigious rise to power, an epic worthy of a place alongside the most exciting of adventure novels.

Little known unti ...
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
