euromaxx highlights
In this edition: Corporate ArchitectureCorporate architecture generally reflects the products or services of the commissioning company. Euromaxx visits a recent example: The precious metals trading house "pro aurum" near Munich has been built in the shape of a gold bar.Art Expert - Cheyenne WestphalCheyenne Westphal is Chairman of Contemporary Art for Sotheby’s Europe. We follow her as she helps auction off 49 pieces from the private collection of German art collector Lenz Schönberg. Some of the works are by Yves Klein, Günther Uecker and Victor Vasarely.Gruyère CheeseGruyère is not just a cheese, it‘s also a region in south-western Switzerland in the canton of Freiburg/Freibourg. More than one million tourists visit every year - many come to visit the local cheese producers. We also visit the Restaurant Plan Francey whose chef prepares for us the "soupe du chalet" prepared - of course - with gruyère cheese.Ideals of BeautyA special exhibition at the German Hygiene Museum in Dresden shows 270 works which deal with ideals of beauty through the ages. Quinta Vacations on MadeiraMadeira is a nice place for a sunny break at the end of the European winter. This Portuguese island in the Atlantic Ocean has a very mild climate and great scenery. Book Town - La Charité-sur-LoireWe visit La Charité-sur-Loire. Despite only having about 6,000 inhabitants, it boasts 12 antique book shops along with specialty companies for typography and calligraphy. Every third Sunday La Charité-sur-Loire holds "The Old Books and Papers Fair" which draws people from all over the country.
