\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?
\n\u200b
\nThis time, we will break the traditional learning framework! The "Qian Mu's Former Residence Senior Citizens' Classroom" once again invites the popular teacher Yang Yanyun to lead us directly into the most prestigious art museums in Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and the Czech Republic. We will not only look at paintings, but also find the voice of the times and the stories of people in the masterpieces, and transform those seemingly distant art histories into understanding and emotion that everyone can take home.
\n\u200b
\nJoin us on a virtual journey across Central Europe this June, taking four Wednesday afternoons to explore the dazzling constellation of art in an accessible way. From now on, art museums will no longer be unattainable halls, but rather havens of knowledge where you can stroll leisurely and savor every detail.

\nFour lessons, showcasing the essence of art from four countries.
\nThrough the most representative art museums and masterpieces of Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and the Czech Republic, we will take an accessible approach, using the steps of "seeing, feeling, and then understanding" to first connect with the works through our senses, and then return to their history and context.
\n\u200b
\n06\/03 | Romantic Philosophy - Germany
\nMuseum Island, Berlin \u00d7 Jewish Museum, Berlin
\nFrom the classical order that converges on Museum Island to the silent spaces where architecture bears the scars of history, one can feel the profound gaze of the German soul upon existence and memory.
\n\u200b
\n06\/10 | The Kingdom of Flowers - Netherlands
\n\u00b7 Rijksmuseum Amsterdam \u00d7 Van Gogh Museum
\nRembrandt depicted the human world in the Golden Age, while Van Gogh used trembling brushstrokes to ignite his inner world; a lowland gave birth to two completely different artistic souls.
\n\u200b
\n06\/17\uff5cCentral European Garden \u2013 Austria
\n\u2022 Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna \u00d7 Albertina Museum
\nThe imperial taste of the Habsburgs stands side by side with the sketches of modern masters, and classical solemnity and avant-garde exploration combine to create Vienna's unique composure.
\n\u200b
\nJune 24 | The Pearl of Eastern Europe - Czech Republic
\nPrague National Gallery \u00d7 Mucha Museum
\nWalk through the centuries-old painting tradition of Bohemia, and immerse yourself in Mucha's Slavic epic woven with Art Nouveau lines, appreciating the aesthetic accumulation that blends gentleness and grandeur.
