10:32 am

10:33 am
he had his custom coffin made six years ago. you can see it's been made by a craftsman all the individual little details of the world. everything really these little whiskey wipers the mirrors i love but. it's all being painted by. the unusual coffin was crafted in nottingham here coffin manufacture of extern has created several hundred unique designs under the name crazy coffins together with his colleague john voce designs and builds these models which are bound to turn heads at the cemetery this is going to be an airplane a handmade original like this costs between one thousand and thirty five hundred euros i think the most technical one is the rolls royce.
10:34 am
because obviously all like even the mood gods we had to make foremost to to bend the ply round and cramp them in the glue them and then when the glue drop we could take them off and foremost so a lot of work went into that. in the store room there are copies as well as original models waiting to be used the coffins help mourners identify what the dearly departed loved most in life or what his or her unfulfilled dream was. the guy who ordered this was a big but poor fan. club. is very much a lawyer and he's been on quite a few exhibitions with this. but not every coffin has an amusing story sometimes the coffin makers get choked up especially when it comes to children.
10:35 am
it was a young child's musical instrument and then you know that the child is suddenly passed away and we didn't have very long to make. it it's quite sad. john goes has yet to make a conference for himself but he does have an idea in mind. if i could make one probably be a ferrari racing call i mean to ferrari. but yeah maybe one day maybe one day i could make myself on the phone. but first martin wilder was hesitant to tell his wife about his funeral plans but then he created an exhibition about his brewery wanted to exhibit the confident. my wife doesn't like it she thinks she thinks it's morbid she doesn't like to think about these things i like to think that when i do go they'll be

10:44 am
or later every visitor to the disgusting food museum reacts this way but exactly what triggers someone's gag reflex varies from person to person. house in this way the city of the museum exhibits eighty two disgusting dishes from around the world including twenty six from europe such as maggot infested italian cheese. juice scottish haggis and chinese my swine. guessing all about it and we all supposed to work together. then there's fruit batsuit from guam and salty licorice from sweden. who want people to think why is my favorite food here it shouldn't be here it's not disgusting but everything is normal for someone all right we're going to open some of the filipino egg where the duck feeds us inside so if you go there around a bit we're going to open it then you will get to know
10:45 am
a little bit more about their. this is a duck egg that you're mature for this version of between five and seven days so it's mostly going to be a joke and then a very small foetus usually you eat this in the dark because people want to eat it but they don't want to see what it is who would like to be first it seriously is not about. good good. so take this there we go. oh sure the good taste tests are a major part of the museum's concept here people are trying an icelandic specialty . or for a minute shark. and they actually urinate through daire skin so the flesh is full of eureka acid so you have to bury it for three months to make it ferment and to get rid of the euro gas and so once is fermented this is safe to eat if you eat it without fermenting as poisonous you know it's most poisonous it is more guns
10:46 am
that goes like you're right. you. know. i don't know. if it is. much milder than what i expected actually you know it's very like oh. yes a stock smooth. ride fish. the disgusting food museum in melbourne aims to help visitors overcome food prejudices and learn more about nutrition. and the museum in southern sweden certainly hold some surprises in store. i was mostly surprised to see one of my favorite time this from my hometown here but some of the finest so discussed it was for me that's the most amazing because it was not so much about the taste artist now but some times like seal that if it works in a c.e.o.
10:47 am
and then you. i like the way you make something up the way tastes or smells of the of a couple of things apart from trees that are the north sister my sister told me that . in every market they so just from this i have nor do you get sisters. and visitors who possibly acquired a taste for bob or for a minute shark can even take some home with them. for once not and use of hope report his journey if you want to know how oxo primo business survived the disgusting foot museum after tasting the dish if just go to our youtube channel youtube dot com slash d. w. europe there you will find plenty more crazy reports from all over europe can you guess what instrument this is taken it's.
10:48 am
actually. not an ordinary one of course mocking stuck up from northern germany was planning on building something called a different the result was an instrument of quite spectacular proportions. the guitar sounded good to the giant guitar made entirely of stainless steel and brass it's almost two and a half meters tall and weighs fifty seven kilos monson stuka is the man who built it. in court experience and i wanted to experiment and see how much of a difference the size would make what would a guitar that big sound like from someone who has. the time guitar doesn't just require lots of cleaning and polishing it's also challenging to use you need a ladder and a wrench to chew knit. just making the instrument took full months. first
10:49 am
i drew up a plan and you can. got a guitar measured it and decided to build it one to two point four and reproduce it to scale later. then came the top parts which thickness do i use for the ribs how do i attach the strings. oh. dear to its size it takes at least two musicians to play the guitar. it's fun but a big challenge to the distances are long and it's hard on your fingers because you have to exert lots of pressure it's just different i'm of those. transposing the guitar into the studio is also a major undertaking martin still got normally makes when help spoke auden's the giant return is a one off piece. to create it he sought out at basra guitar
10:50 am
makers but he still faced huge challenges like the welding scenes which had to be exact as to hearing the first sound was such a mountain still got normally makes when help spoke auden's the giant in turn is a one off piece. to create it he sought out advise from guitar makers but he still faced huge challenges like the welding seams which had to be exact to bring the first sound was such a joyful moment a feeling of wow what is this how amazing. in the studio the huge guitar really comes into its. digital is the individual sounds so you can play around with them later on the computer.
10:51 am
the bass the duration of the vibrations when you hit a string. if i break a long time and that is such a cool feelings. one thing's for certain mountain stickups giant good time gives new meaning to the term heavy metal. now too so to roll in northern italy you can enjoy the mountains in many different ways skiing is of course to first thing that comes to mind but how about a visit to the loo and a brand new museum of mountain photography at an altitude of over two thousand meters you will have breath taking views of the surroundings as well. jumping into the abyss. conquering the summit. scaling the sheer cliff face and they're all snapshots of the breathtakingly

10:53 am
structures of the mountains and repeating images. this is a hands on experience. a giant iris diaphragm in a station's former boarding area serves as a projection screen. exhibit includes photos from around the world. such as mount fuji in japan. mount kilimanjaro in tanzania. glacier bay national park in alaska and about chi lashing tibet where people have a very unique relationship with the mountain as museum director to. adams explains down there. and in other cultures mountains are very important because they possess a certain sanctity and i think they're often equated with gods. man kalish and tube
10:54 am
it for example is a very well known peak reachable by pilgrimage tracks our idea was simply to collect these sacred mountains the world over from national geographic's archives and to display them here on panels and after that he and senior. in europe mounted hikers began taking cameras along in the mid nineteenth century one was. a france who climbed long with his brother in hundred sixty two back then mountain photographers had to carry heavy equipment and then had the hordes come out there has to take along a wooden camera and make the exposures and glass plates and they took the chemicals with them as well as a tarp to set up a makeshift darkroom common act then of course there was the tripod there and to lug about two hundred fifty kilos up the mountain and that's one of the. schlep happened by the late one thousand nine hundred the mountains were attracting hikers in greater numbers but mass tourism really hit in the one nine hundred fifty s. . most travelers feel that local dishes are part of the experience
