Join me for a visit to the Museum of Roman and Germanic Antiquity, (Roemisch-Germanisches), Cologne.  I will be your private professore, travelling in by train from Amsterdam, Holland specially for you. Tour by Drs Kees Kaldenbach, a professional Art History scholar with excellent teaching skills. Specialist in Fine art and Design, Architecture and History. VIP entry. Entry best at from 9 or 10AM.

Please note, this is a high level offer. Practicalities: I live in Amsterdam, Holland and do NOT run a travel agency.  I do however provide Fabulous international museum tours. The plan is that you contract me for one or more days as your private ‘Professore’ and offer full transport to that city, plus hotel accommodation in the same place you will stay. We will spend quality time together in mornings and early afternoons.

You can hire me and I will fly or train in to be your own outstanding private “Professore”. At your cost, I will fly in especially for you and I will guide you after spending a hotel night. And then a very memorable museum visit or two. Please book a time slot ticket for yourself and for the guide. New: Private Audio system available.

 

The museum opened in 1974, in a Brutal Concrete building. The reason of the odd location of this museum is here, next to the Cathedral (Dom), is a the discovery of a huge floor mosaic, showing Dionysus, with many details, one depicting a Maenad and a Satyr. The Dionysus mosaic dates from around A.D. 220/230. A large object is  the reconstructed sepulcher of legionary Poblicius (about A.D. 40). There is also an extensive collection of Roman glassware as well as an array of Roman and medieval jewellery. I will explain about the design and presentation philosophy in this museum.
