The Ars longa travel agency invites you to a spring cycle of virtual tours of galleries and museums. On Thursday, March 25, together with art historian Donovan Pavlinc, you will walk through the collection of German paintings from the 19th century in Berlin's Alte Nationalgalerie. In the first half of the century, German Romanticism addressed, among other things, the relationship between man and nature. At a time when we cannot yet travel to Berlin, a virtual gallery walk will conjure up the feeling of visiting this famous gallery and take you to this extraordinary period of German history. Sign up for the virtual walk by clicking on Login (or by sending a message to info@arslonga.si), but if you would like to discover even more Berlin gems, we invite you to travel to Berlin.

We wish you a pleasant virtual spring walk. DZT
