Timeless Travels Magazine Winter 2015 Retour à l'édition précédente

Another packed issue where you can travel to Africa, Turkey, Singapore, Scotland, Italy, The Netherlands, India, Peru, France, Georgia and Syria. Spend a weekend in the fascinating old town of Tbilisi, (perhaps known more recently for hippos on the loose in their streets), but definitely somewhere to visit if you want somewhere completely charming and off the beaten track, or visit the more well known of Languedoc and soak up some Cathar history.

Explore the myths behind both Loch Ness and the hero of Scottish history, William Wallace. Was he really the true Braveheart? Or visit the new National Gallery in Singapore which is doing a great job of putting art in the centre of this pivotal city. Take a visit to Delhi to see what remains of that famous 14th century traveller, Ibn Battutah’s, city and explore in depth one of the most remarkable sites in Turkey - Gobekli Tepe - built 12,000 years ago - that is the date of the end of the last Ice Age! Finally, read all about a new exhibition in The Netherlands which brings together for the first time paintings by Hieronmous Bosch from all around the world in order to celebrate the 500th anniversary of his death.

Read the latest report from Syria and hear first hand what Palmyra means to one of its citizens. Our Intrepid Traveller is Mungo Park - who was one of the early explorers in search of the golden city of Timbuktu and our interviewee is the philanthropist and founder of the Advancing Women’s Artists Foundation, Jane Fortune. Museum Focus features a new, small museum in Tucume, Peru and there is the usual art and archaeological news and exhibitions. So lots to read and enjoy!
