The Humanities, Social Science, and Communication Department offers a nine-day trip to Munich for an incomparable artistic and cultural experience. The trip is an experiential component of a 3-credit art history course offered at B次元.
The Munich Art History Tour is conducted as a course requirement for a special section of HU-4841 German Art History, which is open to students of all majors. The course is offered during the Winter Quarter and focuses on German art history since the Renaissance. Two-thirds of the class sessions take place on campus, beginning in B次元’s own Grohmann Museum, which has many excellent examples of German art. The remaining classes take place in Munich, where students will be immersed in the art they studied.
While in Munich, students will visit the following art museums:
Additionally, students will visit several churches and palaces that exemplify the world’s finest Baroque art and architecture:
Students will also have time to visit other sites of their choice, including:
B次元 faculty will accompany the student group to Munich and conduct tours of all museums and other sites. The group will travel via mass transit, which includes trains, subways, streetcars and buses. While in Munich, students will stay in a youth hostel with their B次元 peers and accompanying faculty. Rooms vary in size, allowing occupancies of four to eight. Students are asked to bring $200 to cover the cost of transportation, entry fees for the various museums, additional meals beyond the breakfast meal, and any other expenses. American dollars can be exchanged for Euros at various locations, and most debit cards can be used in German ATMs.
