lowe's archipelago district. the building which recently opened is virtually window less and clad in dark norwegian slate. on the inside, visitors can discover exhibits from several centuries. the 13000 square meters of exhibition space make than you national museum, the not just in the nordic region. german architect klaus shoe fact designed the building with his colleague young klein who is with a clear vision of what museum architecture should fulfill is looting and museum with the her, me a museum should not be a place that you visit like a church policy where you go to warship works of ours as a law. instead, it's the salon for all the people of os low. it's a palace for everyone, so to speak. sure, i live on a panel hisself beyond which landscape paintings from the 19th century masterpieces by vincent van gogh and poland says on the ropes,

if know we each in queens and modern design classics. ah, there is even an entire exhibition space dedicated exclusively to the most important to know which an artist at bart monk i think it's amazing how shall i go in so much different art and we we haven't seen it all and think we will to day because so many rooms, many rooms, you need to to know the good thing and then you can come back and see like solutions. i really like that just so from the outside. and also side is really innovative, is really new. and like, let's feel a vibe of really new stuff. new building the museum is located navy owners train station and the nobel peace center. and it is one of our slaves,

most sustainable buildings with at least 50 percent less greenhouse gas emissions compared to current building standards. ah, the slate for the facade and interior is from norwegian quarries instead of cheap material from china or india. slate lasts forever. and can be easily replaced michigan. shanaski boyd is for made. it is a beautiful building now and a building that can be repaired is sustainable. am jasmine. the only thing we should really be discussing is how to build the highest quality buildings that can be repaired for as long as it makes sense for society. food. he says that is not only sustainable and ecological not. it is also about culture, his own routine, the new national museum, cost around $600000000.00. your right is. it brings together several museums, which were previously distributed throughout all afloat. the national gallery, museum of architecture, decorative arts,

and the museum of contemporary art. what you get as a result with the national museum is arts architecture design and crafts from antiquity up until present. they. so in that manner util, the whole story about no way in the world and the world in no way through one collection. the optical highlight is a 2400 square meter. let us to whole on the roof of the museum where temporary exhibitions by contemporary artists are shown. oh, it has already seen great numbers of visitors for clothes tobac. however, that is not the most important criterion for measuring the success of the museum bus paseo to you from to hear what happens in 50 years when all the fashion is over, the opening is over eyes the 1st years are over for blazing,

been done. if the museum has captured the hearts of norwegians is also that the building is preserved so that they fight for it who are amazing distance only then will it have been a success. nor does them and rob this i know for a national museum for eternity and an architectural design without frills. because here the artworks take center stage. if there is one thing that i remember from my 1st spring in germany, it's a spar against season. if you've never lived in germany, that will seem weird, bought germans a rave about the vegetables, and it must be white asparagus, which also has to be perfectly peeled. d w. reports are brought, dennis is australian, therefore, obviously, and asparagus novice, he went to harvest the prize vegetable and find out what all the fuss is about

with back hurts or was hold to the shoulders with her on branch from australia living in germany and i hit germans really love asparagus, no. any asparagus white ones. and whereabout this whole to yoga and ya comes right now. see what all the fuss is about. hey, how do you do? yeah, good. so you going to show me the wine asparagus feel today? i will tell you, and i think you can no, not. i am brand dennis, and i am going to hop as asparagus for d. w at this asparagus farm in beale. it's near berlin at the end of the day. i'm supposed to have his asparagus on my own against the ticking clock. my 1st lesson, white asparagus hides on the plastic covers in the sunlight. he spared his tons, purple and green. the cultivation and complex harvesting made the white asparagus for a long time, a luxury vegetable that only well of people could afford even today harvesting

asparagus, his hard work that is done by humans. we've little machine support. yeah, we should have a competition. me against you? yeah, have you seen me so he philosophy mod, have you ever done this before? i started with i so this big one he this good one to short, medium and this is minimum. those figures should have a length of minimum of $22.00 centimeters. and if it is short, it's a bed. i get a building size employee which boggled brian like most things. so now i know how to extract the asparagus from the ground. i think i need a little protein before i start to challenge. so a

little bit dorothy, bob? pretty good. next lesson white asparagus must be not only watched, but also peeled, unlike green asparagus. oh yeah, very good technique. i better just feel it from australia. are we ready? no, we're good. okay, a broken i love. well hockey white asparagus is the spring vegetable the season last. certainly 3 months. going to show me how to cook this now. okay. water, sugar, salt and if needed, a slice of lemon, then it goes into the oven for 40 minutes to cook. traditionally asparagus often served with sauce hollandale to germany. white asparagus has a subtle taste. after all, it consists of over 90 percent water and has

a genetic effect. it taste better than looks back in the asparagus field where i must now harvest asparagus all by myself against the clock. it will take me all day. i can't do that so quickly. we are ready with i haven't run in like 3 months now. you have 30 minutes. good luck. and be in how it with ah, this is really think it's so hot. ok the i can't do this all in 30 minutes. this one, this one. this one i was was he gone. he expects me to go all the way up it back hurts or oh no, no,

that's too short. hey, a lot of the 2nd one is you know, so it's separate. it's separate because i can't help it. it's, it's the pressure now you're here watching me. i can't do it. oh okay, so i'm done. you did it with in just so at about 50 to 70 minutes. i'm just a little bit astonished. it's good. the course is not so good, but how long would it take one working to do this? 7 minutes, so i wouldn't be able to work. see the question. if you, if it's okay for, for, for the back. my back hurts a lot. chevy say after 8 hours off to 12. i was, i don't think i would do this for a day job. i think i'll just stick to making videos with deutsch vela and eating. why dispatchers at home?

do you remember this famous picture of former german chancellor anglo merkel? and then u. s. president barack obama discussing the world's problems against the backdrop of the bavarian out they were sitting outside los and mouth, which hosted the 2015 g 7 summit. now the luxury hotel will host the event again. so we find out why it's the perfect secluded spot for the world's leaders. want to have that job loss. elmo is located on the edge of the bavarian alps, in the very south of germany. in 2015, it became world famous. when the g 7 summit was held there for the 1st time, now representatives from 7 major industrialized nations on meeting for the 2nd time in the same hotel, a welsh premier script, comma. there's almost no air in germany that you can protect as well as shallow cell now, which is secluded and yet not so far away. it's easy to get here from unix engine.

the main building of the 5 star hotel has 115 rooms and the sweets it's best, the name height away. in addition to the main building, there is another house here on the left. practically a hotel with in a hotel with $47.00 sweeps and spacious rooms. it is cold retreat, a secluded area ideal for the g 7 summit for which the retreat opened in 2015. the most important guests will stay here. the as nuances and they eat together and swim together. they practically live in a small hotel with $47.00 rooms. all done wonderful. everybody has 5 rooms and then a few others gone and all the team members live here in the castle. and of course, it's perfect to have a house just for the presidents and another house just for the staff. dave,

if it happens mid of either the presidential suite sol, virtually identical. so no head of state or government is disadvantaged. and what does such a presidential suite to look like? in addition to the whole way and as small living room, there is an even larger room with . but the most striking aspect is still a field with the hotel guests have a total of 9 different restaurants to choose from. one of them is that to mitchell in start, you should dull at every table. in miss restaurants, there is a stool. it is bad for ladies to place their hand backs on. ah,

now it's time for the inner sanctum, the kitchen. that's where shaft christopher heinous team works as it he buys. well, the tradition i come from his classic french cuisine, obama, but it's much lighter than you might imagine robin. so we use very little butter for instance, and we work with stock and suit that way. we can achieve acidity and spiciness or so much so that you can then easily 878 courses without feeling totally bloated afterwards. and it's an enjoyable experience possible. normally the guests range from goal may travelers to families on a budget report. it starts with a 5 course menu that costs $189.00 euros, plus all the little extras on top was you know, that doesn't include drink. it's those are also on top. getting a little while until the cuisine is cosmopolitan. this japanese amans

good is the 1st thing that comes out of the kitchen. but it does not count as a separate course. unlike the harem of liking fish. when there is no g 7 summit meeting here, guests mostly come from germany, austria and switzerland. but also from britain and the usa, if you have enough money, you can unwind here in style. far away from the international political stage. there isn't much that comes close to the luxurious feeling of fine silk. the ancient fabric has been produced for over 5000 years and scoffs like this. one are so much so saturated to day. invaluable fabric originally came from china to europe via the silk road, and was traded like gold in the 15th century. the french city of leon was considered a leading center of so production up until the 19th century. and to this,

de leon is still known for the high quality and diversity of its silk products. not long now and these silk moth, caterpillar's will go into production. because their cocoons are the basis for the queen of fabrics, silver, sr, he know leo not no runs a small mulberry caterpillar farm and is boutique in the young and southeastern france. called glucose. going to move into she'll in order to wind the cocoon on to a real, you 1st have to put it in hot water, olu, feel it all, and then you get a silk throw machine. all 1000000 of this is on average one kilometer long. does she missing school, however, it takes $5.00 to $7000.00 cocoons to make one kilogram of silk and kito to lay. now, these family has specialized in the sale of silk products, since 1890 skolnik perla,

a seeded. jo. this is a typical pattern in leon style. gonna cover donald and one we produce a patio, donald, this so it is based on an old design of a lot bama, the worst are made of velvet. his and silk. yep. uh hilda ofa. this is only possible in the only because here we have the machinery school, the design and skilled workers was of only this so and was of only so pre between the 16th and 19th century leone was known worldwide as a silk metropolis. more than 30000 silk weavers or canoe worked in the city. traces of this period can still be seen today in the qua host district. because of miserable working conditions. there were major uprisings in 183118. 34 that have altered the canoe. huh. the silk weaver protests began because society was divided into 2 social classes with bucky list to the factory owners who gave

the orders of mold and the silk weaver also who made the cross. however, the factory owners never remunerated the real value of the word develop due to the silk weavers, could no longer support themselves from their work. the plus and when you are hungry and you protest to be also haywood at the end of the 19th century leone lost its place in the world of silk manufacturing. today, there are only 2 silk weaving mills here. they mainly produce fabrics for hooked katya or reproduce from old patterns. sebastian horse works for the pile company, which was founded back in 1752. he's proud of the traditional craft, even though to day the fabric is largely woven mechanically. leaseholder, as it is just a people want their fabrics to be finished much faster and they'll go over, it's expensive. and so now we just do high end product luxury goods agreed use and that allows the tradition to continue in your course. it involves artisan will know

how that is very rare to day. she been annoyed. so in the archives of the family business, there are old order books with fabric samples and design templates that are more than 250 years old. on addict y'all as well. and the names of the customers from name darryl d damage in the usa ah, inmates archives upon us as a whole set, where we are rich not what is from the county opera in paris. look at either from versailles, both the and the st palace. if our veterans all these very important places what to take on dinner. oh, thanks to these patterns, the company was able to faithfully reproduce silk fabrics for the restoration of the imperial boxes at the opa gaffney. in paris, the pattern dates back to 1874. for the st. petersburg, sars residence they re woe, the yellow silk damask fabric for the leone hall,

the initial imperial order dates from 18. 66. kennedy is combining the old with the new that's when i find really interesting senior he know leo. now the is not worried about the future of silk weaving for the luxury market that so the put result is and will remain a luxury product. although it's always a question of quantity. the people will always want to have silk so much. it's been that way for the past 5000 years is some, you know, people have been dreaming about possessing something made of silk for 5000 years as well. so the future is guarantee for you to like does sure. and so senior he know leo, now the hopes that the next generations to will be able to achieve their dream of. so now when i think of the beach and the ocean, they always bring back memories of summer holidays. but for british artist, kirsty allison, the beach is where she collect what the c wash is up to create miniature works of

art. her cottages, unlike houses, are beg, hates with people who want to introduce a bit of maritime feeling into their homes. blue dream houses by the sea in miniature, made from driftwood and flotsam. there the work of british artist, kirsty elson, who up cycles objects she finds on the beaches of southwestern england. every time we go to the beach where there is a family trip out and all or for what i'm i never switch off. i'm always looking for stuff. and i don't go with that idea in mind because i would never find it. kirsty collect driftwood, old bottle corks, seashells, and anything else she finds on corn walls, beaches sometimes she finds so much material, she can't transport it all in one go. i just found this amazing that

a house when i came home and i purpose slay on the top and secured it with a couple of nails which served chimneys, hersey lives, enlist guard near plymouth there she's got to workshops one for the heavy work where she uses saws and chisels and keeps a collection of supplies. and a 2nd workshop where she lets her creative juices flow. although she says after putting together the individual parts, things take shape pretty quickly. and sometimes i have a very chair, i do my head for, oh, i'm in a day and sometimes it just evolves in a, in a i never draw anything. i never put anything on paper fast. it's more of a case if the in blocks together and pieces of wood together and saying what wags. kirstine made

a name for herself with her delightful miniature cottages and coastal scenes. every artwork is unique. she's been selling them online for almost 20 years now with buyers around the world. sometimes she also creates animals cultures or works patch up to 250 euro a piece i guess for that the say i wouldn't fail to do i did this a. does it work for me as what makes it all say beautiful. in 1st place? kirsty elson loves combing the beaches. they always offer her something for her work. as an artist that's all we've got time for today. don't forget to follow us on social media and head over to our website to find out about our dw uncensored fashion collection.
