Excursion and Conference Dinner
|
| |
|

The excursion consists of a guided city walk in the
nearby historical and picturesque town of Den Bosch
(also known as 's-Hertogenbosch)
plus a guided visit to the Hieronymous Bosch exposition in the
local museum.
The medieval painter Hieronymous Bosch, known
in Dutch as Jeroen Bosch, was named after
the town where he lived, and
is famous for his fantastic and eccentric visions. Some of his most
famous paintings are
"The
Garden of Earthly Delights",
"Death
and the Miser",
"The
Last Judgement", and
"The Extraction of the Stone of Madness".
The trip to Den Bosch is concluded in picturesque style with the conference
dinner in
restaurant Picasso.
