Anytime visit #4- Augustiner museum

The Augustiner museum houses art from the Middle Ages all the way up to the boroque period. This museum has a hall of sculptures along with many gorgeous panels, and paintings. All of which have been obtained since they started collecting art in the 1880's. This museum is important because it tells the history of the arts in Freiburg and gives me another look at a different museum.

Anytime visit #3 canal cruise

The canals in Amsterdam that exists today were established in the 17th century. Today the city consists of 90 islands and 1,280 bridges. The canals act as a tourist attraction, transportation site for locals, and home for many. Although long ago living on the canals was the cheapest living place in town nowadays it is the most expensive place in town to live. Three times a week the locks separating the North Sea and the canals are opened to clean out debris. 
This relates to my studies because it helped to teach us the history of the city. It showed us how the city was built was is new and what was old and how exactly the new stuff became to be.
