\nDo you feel overwhelmed by the thought that learning Western art history requires starting with prehistoric cave paintings? Or perhaps you enter a world-class art museum with great anticipation, only to find yourself limited to a cursory glance at the numerous masterpieces?

\nThis time, we're breaking free from traditional learning frameworks! The Qian Mu Former Residence Senior Citizens' School once again invites the beloved Professor Yang Yanfan to lead us directly into the most prestigious art museums in England, France, Italy, and Spain. We'll not just be looking at paintings, but discovering the voices of the times and the stories of the people within these masterpieces. We'll transform this seemingly distant art history into something everyone can take home with them, a source of understanding and emotion.
