German Tourism Shows its Stuff

I had wonderful lunch with Victoria Larson of the German National Tourism Office and Kirsten Schmidt from Berlin Tourism Marketing today at the Four Seasons in Boston, a success. This is the year of culture and art throughout Germany and stellar offerings are opening. The fact is that Germany, a country the size of Texas has over 500 galleries and 6,000 museums.

Besides art works of the highest quality are some newcomers such as a BMW Museum and Berlin’s new DDR Museum that covers life as it was in East Germany. In Berlin is a Kennedy Museum and at the Bucerius Kunst Forum is an exhibit that is near to my heart, an exhibit about The Hudson Valley School of painting. I am thrilled to think that painters such as Thomas Cole and Fredrick Church works will be on display, the scenes that I drive by daily. I could go on and on but go to http://www.cometogermany.com/ to get the full picture.
