Deutsche in Oxford Tour
Max Müller
Oxford University has been a place of research and study for
intellectuals from across the globe for more than a thousand years. They
travelled to the quiet quads and green Victorian suburbs, and left their
indelible mark; their architecture, science and culture has shaped this place
forever.
This tour offers two hours on foot visiting the colleges, museums and libraries associated with famous German thinkers, artists and academics.

The starting point of the tour is the Taylorian Library (Max
Müller, philologist and orientalist) and Ashmolean Museum (pictures and
engravings by Holbein, Grünewald and others); then Balliol College (stained
glass by Albrecht Dürer; monument to Adam von Trott zu Solz); Sheldonian
Theatre and New Bodleian (Nikolaus Pevsner); All Souls College (Ernst Cassirer,
philosopher, Philosophy
of Symbolic Forms); Wadham College (stained glass by Abraham van
Linge); and finally Christ Church (David Luke, translator of Grimms’ Fairy Tales and Mozart’s Journey to Prague).
The tour lasts 120 minutes and costs £45 per person (£40
concessions)[1]. The group size will be 2–6[2] people,
