ah find out which important event to will soon be taking place in this beautiful setting in southern germany later on in the program. but 1st, a warm welcome to another edition of your max with me, your host, how to whom? well, let's see what else we have lined up for you today. your mikes reporter brought dennis investigates that jermel's passion for white asparagus. and why precious silk fabrics come from the french city of niel. the norwegian capital all slow, has become some watch of a hot spot for contemporary architectural design. in recent years,

it's opera house looks like an iceberg. and just like the dice, mon library and the new monk museum, it stands right on the city's water front. now another spectacular building has been added and we just had to check it out for you. no ways new national museum is located in the heart of the osler's archipelago district. the building which recently opened is virtually window les and clad in dark norwegian slate. on the inside, visitors can discover exhibits from several centuries. the 13000 square meters of exhibition space make the new national museum the darkest in the nordic region. german architect klaus shoe vac designed the building with his colleague young clay who is with a clear vision of what museum architecture should fulfill. what is looting? i museum 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. there's a lot. 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 pallet. so fiance, with landscape paintings from the 19th century masterpieces by vincent van gogh and point fis on the ropes. if know we each in queens and martin design classics. ah, there is even an entire exhibition space dedicated exclusively to the most important to norwegian artist, ant bite monk. i think it's amazing. it's such a lack of in so much different art and we, we haven't seen it all and think we world today because so many rooms, many rooms where you need to, to know the good thing and then you can come back and see it. i really like that,

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 the old train station and the nobel peace center. and it is one of osler's most sustainable buildings with at least 50 percent less greenhouse gas emissions compared to current building standards. ah, the slate for the facade and anteria is from norwegian quarries instead of cheap material from china, or india. slate lasts forever and can be easily replaced. michigan, shanaski boy do for made. it is a beautiful building, and a building that can be repaired is sustainable guzman. 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 today. 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 through. i don't tell float, a national gallery to museum of he tech chant, 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, the clouds chew vac. however,

that is not the most important criterion for measuring the success of the museum bus paseo to improve to hear what happens in 50 years when all the fashion is over . the opening is over eyes the 1st years are over vice. when done, if the museum has captured the hearts of norwegians so that the building is preserved so that they fight for it to remain distance, only then will it have been a success. noticed them done while this i know for a national museum for eternity and an architectural design without frills. because here the artworks take center stage. if there's 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 vegetable, 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. mm hm. but i could talk to the shelf on brandt from australia, living in germany, and i hear germans really love asparagus. no, any asparagus white ones. and whereabout this whole to yoga ya comes right now. see what all the fuss is about. hi. how do you do? yeah, good, so you're going to show me the one asparagus feel today. i will tell you and i think you can no, not. i am brand dennis, and i'm going to harvest asparagus the d. w at this asparagus farm in beale. it's

near berlin at the end of the day, i'm supposed to have a spare guess on my own against the ticking clock. my 1st lesson, white asparagus hides on the plastic covers in the sunlight. asparagus turns puzzling 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. mean this is minimum. those figures should have a length of minimum $22.00 centimeters. and if it is short, it's a bed i get a. busy sizes in pony which boggled

brian like most things. so now i know how to extract the asparagus from the ground. i think any little protein before i start telling, so is a little bit dorothy, bob. pretty good. next lesson white asparagus must be not only was that also appealed, unlike green asparagus. oh yes. very good technique. i just feel it from australia. are we ready? no good. okay, a broken i love. well, white asparagus is the spring vegetable the season last. only 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 serve 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 would 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 minute. 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 going he expects me to go all the way up it back hurts or oh no, no, that's too short. hey, there's a lot of recorded, 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 for 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 hours. 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 us president barack obama discussing the world's problems against the backdrop of the bavarian outs. 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, water back 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 selma, 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 suites 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 long as um,

they eat together and swim together. they practically live in a small hotel with 47 rooms done wonderful. everybody has 5 rooms and then a few others and all the team members live here in the castle. and of course, it's perfect to have a house just for the president and another house just for the staff, dave effort against the middle of either the presidential suite, so 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 a small living room, there is an even larger room. but the most striking aspect, the 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 front backs on. ah, now it's time for the inner sanctum, the kitchen that's way chef christopher heinous team works as it he buys as well. the tradition i come from is 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 before it starts with a 5 course menu that costs 189 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 moth 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 stature 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 productions because their cocoons are the basis for the queen of fabrics, silver, sr, he know, leo not though runs a small mulberry caterpillar farm and is boutique and leon and southeastern france . gold gluco coin trin bowbin. do she'll in order to wind the cocoon on to a real? you 1st have to put it in hot water olu, feel it over and then you get a silk thorough matt duffy. all 1000000 of this is on average one kilometer long. does she message full, however,

it takes 5 to 7000 cocoons to make one kilogram of silk and kito to layer. 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. glue color donald and one we produce a patio de nadisa. it is based on an old design of hulu. bama, the worst are made of velvet, his son and silk about kildere offer. this is only possible in the all i, because here we have the machinery school, the designs and skilled workers was of only do 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 house district, because of miserable working conditions. there were major uprisings in 18311834 that have altered the canoe. huh. the silk libra. protests began because society was divided into 2 social classes, look back to list the factory owners who gave the orders gemalto and the silk weaver also who made the cloth. 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 it 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 haute couture 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 today the fabric is largely woven mechanically. leaseholders distribute, which is 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 would reduce and that allows the tradition to continue it. who is it involves artisan will know how that is very rare to day human noise cow 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 f and the names of the customers from name darryl. d damage in the usa ah inmates archives upon us as a whole st. we of which not what, as from the county opera in paris, look ahead for their sy wealthy and he 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, whoa. the yellow silk damask fabric for the leone hall. the initial imperial order dates from 1866 cancer 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 soil, the put result is and will remain a luxury product. also, 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 aloud possessing something made of silk for 5000 years as well. so the future is guarantee future light does shield and so senior he know leo . now the hopes that the next generations to will be able to achieve their.

i know 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 collects what the c wash is up to create miniature works of art. her cottages, unlike houses, are big 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 you go to the beach where there is a family trip out of old or for what i'm. i never switch off. i always looking for stuff and i don't go with that idea in mind because i would never find it.

all started by complete coincidence. i was on the beach looking for treasure like i always do and i found a piece not too dissimilar to this one. actually it had, it was a block with a slanted reef and her, i thought all that it's like a house when i came home and i purpose slay on the top and secured it with a couple of nails which served chimneys. kirsty lives enlist guard near plymouth there. she's got 2 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 oh and

a day. and sometimes it just evolves in it in i, i never draw anything. i never put anything on paper fast. it's more of a case if the in blocks together in and of a pieces of wood together and saying what wags. kirstine made a name for herself with her delightful miniature cottages and coastal scenes. every art work is unique. she's been selling them online for almost 20 years now with buyers around the world. sometimes she also creates animal sculptures. her works patch up to 250 euro a piece i guess for that the say i wouldn't see i was a do i do the see? does it work for me? that's what makes it all say beautiful. in 1st rice, kirsty elson loves combing the beaches. they always offer her something for her
