husband prince into my car into months more solemn. even. splits with. my choice in the scott he has given me a way to transport troops. and. i wrote a welcome to another edition of your max with me your host meghan lee as usual we are making our way around europe to all the cultural hotspots here's a look at what's coming up. on usual library

a belgian baker whose passion is collecting sourdough starter. unique ability of musicians who can make his guitars sound like very instrumental. and inventive talented designer who revolutionized the fashion world with the miniskirts. we kick off today show on a sour note with sourdough bread that is it's the oldest and most original form of leavened bread now making the dough is quite simple all you have to do is combine flour water in a glass or plastic container cover it with a breathable lid then let it sit in a warm place for at least twelve hours and while you have the ingredients for a good loaf of sourdough bread while in belgium one specialist has created a library of sourdough starter let's find out now why he has cultivated this unusual passion. these jars filled with

sourdough starter aren't just sitting in any old fridge there are exhibits on this play at the parata sourdough library in belgium and they're all alive four degrees celsius is just cool enough to keep the microbes in check for the collections head ecologists met these exhibits are more than just a number these are these is this sound it was my first one in noise we got in from san francisco in one thousand nine hundred nine francisco or didn't you know and from all of the starters here in the library. this is the one closest to my heart and beauty and spiritualists never catch your first sourdough. is to forget forget. the smiths library now boast one hundred fifteen specimens from twenty countries the oldest dates from eight hundred eighty six and the newest he's just

bought back from spain. every sourdough is different depending on where it was made and with what kind of flour to ferment the starter needs to rest and be fed regularly with flour and water it makes the dough rise and gives the bread its likely sour taste from thousand five thousand years ago everyone who baked brand worked with salad. it then as not there are still many different kinds of sourdough . but unless they're handed down from mother to daughter father to son or make it a baker. they'll be lost forever. to ensure that old recipes and ingredients are preserved this matter travels the world in search of saladin specialist from canada he brought home started though used by miners during the gold rush that's still alive today. he learned the methods people used in the summer do school in britain. and in greece he watched country folk make

bread. some of those luck to acid bacteria help spread keep longer and has health benefits dismounts quest for sourdough takes him to three or four countries each year which is does immersion really it's always nice to be able to discover new things in china for example you can find plenty of things we don't have in europe or china they don't bake bread with sourdough like we do instead they make steamed buns. ave a good done. parata sourdough library is located in the village of something feet in eastern belgium. here the team from the belgian bakery company parata has been producing sourdough and everything that could be made with it for more than two decades. this bakery located next to the library is only used on special occasions for instance to show product developers from around the world

what kinds of bread can be made with sourdough and maybe even inspire new kinds of baked goods. the most important thing for us out is the story they love to know where it's come from how long it's been around so that's really what they're looking for is the story behind. this kind of redheads bring me from my childhood time when my grandmother made the rio bread in our times and it's really lies flavor and delicious it's something which definitely people interested italian people love so much sourdough and myself we have a family business we produce bonnet on and we have our hound sourdough that we refresh each day since i don't remember when to keep his exhibits alive the smack refreshes his starters every two months with flour and water he keeps a duplicate sample. and various types of flour making sourdough is

a science in itself and takes lots of patience. but not for shit in a mix there is different types of lactic acid bacteria some money produce lactic acid and others make acetic acid the temperature is pretty important. and depending on how often you refresh the sound it becomes more or less sour. is the movie nigger or mere zala. you can even use sourdough to make waffles in belgium called the smith makes canadian style ones the way he learned to on his visit to the yukon naturally he used the original sourdough starter and he can't resist tasting the results. so far it. looks like it is our bread of course tastes even better with cheese which of course goes well with wine and that brings us to the new border layer which has just been released more on that at the top of today's express.

a new and very special guitar. continuing now with this week's series pioneering women today we get to know mary quant whose invention caused a scandal in the early sixty's the fashion designer was responsible for introducing the mini skirt and how it was first pictured in the one nine hundred sixty two edition of british vogue and it sparked outrage from both conservatives and the church soon after though the mini skirt became a symbol of female emancipation and a must have in almost every modern woman's wardrobe i myself even have a few with a mini skirt made that mary quant a fashion icon it's still as popular as ever no matter the weather.

london in autumn even at low temperatures there are plenty of mini skirts around. mary quant invention is almost sixty years old but it still makes a specific fashion statement. for freedom. and then they get a little bit of flirting i'm sure like back then people would think it's not cool because i'd be a very conservative. but what the narrative is cool for women to wear and one too i think must've been really controversial but it's really cool that it's of. the british fashion designer sparked a genuine revolution in the early one nine hundred sixty s. . original many skirt hitched up hemlines to at least ten centimeters above the knee and became a symbol of a massive pated women in one thousand nine hundred eighty six she was awarded the order of the british empire for her work the mini skirt changed beauty ideals. the

new mini was soon personified by a certain leslie hornby better known as twiggy with her bob taylor and slender figure the model quickly became a style and cultural icon of the swinging sixty's the mini skirt was a polarizer as soon learned in her own shop from the beginning it felt as though getting. in there with the long lost of young men to bring in my girlfriends and raving about everything and then when the last of. the window with. rage. managed to do what you fashion designers had done before she changed society with a piece of fabric. i think it's all really down to mary quant she was an art student she didn't want to dress the way her mother did which you know up until then really had being kind of the way

things were. during the one nine hundred fifty s. to peace i'm samples were in fashion quanta was creating for a new generation and had her finger on the pulse of the sixty's in particular that of england's artists and musicians. today her designs have long since become classics her favorite dress the banana split was even honored on a british stamp in two thousand and nine. the perfect black dress and it comes really out in it's black and. put in a high. cut right through it. and so it flows right up so it fools it just shows up in. london's victoria and albert museum has been collecting and archiving quantz designs since the one nine hundred seventy s. because it was clear even then that her work was revolutionary some of the museums

hundred or so pieces are in its permanent exhibition kwan's forte is light sporting clubs like these it's wearable fashion for work or having fun. american reaction against that very grown up lady like tailoring that english fashion was known for something completely new things were changing anyway there was a different feeling with people who were fed up with pace war austerity and the younger generation with. clubs and she was on clothes that you could if you were young woman and go straight off to. the mini skirt wasn't quantz only fashion coo she also became the first designer to use vinyl in dresses and shoes. and. she also. takes credit

for inventing waterproof eyeliner and strapless broads plushy popularised colored and patterned hose and it was quaint who created the short shorts known as hot pants like the mini skirt that since become a signpost in fashion history. the designer was quick to export her fashions to the u.s. and japan her shops carry dresses cosmetics and bags all under the mary quant name in two thousand she sold the label to a japanese company and withdrew from public life but her best known creation the mini skirt is still a fixture in the fashion world and. fashion designers like germany's giteau maria kuch mar include short skirts in many of their collections. because there are young people and everyone who's young and shouts already i'm here also wants to wear a mini skirt and. it started as a scandal and turned it into

a symbol of rebellion and emancipation today the mini skirt is a classic and a recurring favorite on the catwalk. wearing one wrote a chapter a fashion history all her own with just a small piece of fabric. berlin has one new york as well and now the north german city of hamburg is getting one i'm talking about a museum of illusions since the beginning of time people been fascinated by magic and trickery and how new attraction truly takes visitors on a magical mystery tour. nothing is quite as it seems at hamburg's new museum of illusions. thousands of installations feature quirky optical illusions the deceive the senses. museum manager nikolina lots garbage discovered the cool concept in croatia and brought it to hamburg as ever new here it's bring out my inner child it's

a combination of many factors and everything is based on hi i'm interested there's . the optical illusions per planks visitors and spank their intellectual curiosity which is the main idea behind the museum the vast four hundred square meter spaces brimming with games puzzles and optical illusions of all kinds some fifty exhibits are on display. one major highlight is this rotating vortex tunnel which makes you feel as if you're losing your balance what donna is. i really like the vortex tunnel argh it makes me feel a bit dizzy but i still keep going through it. and my kids totally love it. at other museums the rule usually is don't touch but here visitors are encouraged to try out all exhibits for themselves it's all about the disconnect between perceiving things that our brains can't fully process fascinating stuff for kids

and adults alike. it's great for people who might not like visiting museums this interactive museum is something different it's about having fun. and their view of the world might get turned on its head quite literally. and now for something for all you do it yourselfers out there today our resident d.i.y. expert hunch and is going to teach us how to fold or call me and i am going to try it as well so here you go. hi there is tension have you ever heard of origami the ancient japanese art of

paper forwarding often into complex shapes such as animals flowers but also geometrical forms that can even be used to decorate a war. you need a for paper about thirty to forty pages in different colors. and double sided sticky tape. that said we can already start first of all the paper up diagonally from the bottom right to meet the top edge smooth to midpoint. for the remaining piece to. right and really smoothed down the photo firmly and then unfold it again. and then fold in the left hand side piece again and this time the bottom is filled with over that piece. and then unfold it. and then fold the paper over so the right hand which meets the left one. can press down firmly on the crease. then unfold it

again. now pulling all the conus so they meet in the middle. and open it up again and. then place it folded over a left hand side on to the right one and full the diagonal line in the bottom how. open it up and press a diagonal line up words to form a triangle. and then fold down the tip of the triangle into the middle. you could already see that the pyramid shape this emerging. would carry on with the upper right hand corner of this step to the next crease. and this creates a flap to tuck in when the shape is finished. and their ship paramedic make about forty of them. then at the base sided sticky tape to the surfaces of the shape. now you stick them on the wall you can choose the cuts and yourself. stand out the

board cycle. in this project the choice of color is very important if you would like a different color combination simply look for koa pallets online and get inspired. well how stupid that luckily christine my german carly. knows how to do it yes i really i mean more brag but if you want to see that video again along with other creative d.i.y. tutorials then go to our youtube page all right we're out of time for me and the rest of the crew here in berlin in this fire for now and was big and tomorrow because. next time on your own tax go to artist johnny carson has created a stunning three hundred sixty degree and
