Dear Members and Friends of The Metropolitan Museum of Art,

Twenty-five years after the fall of the Wall, the eastern German cities of Berlin and Leipzig

have rightfully reclaimed their age-old reputations as centers of high culture and sophistication. Discover

“Imperial Pleasures, Royal Treasures,” during a one-week immersion in the art and architecture of

these vibrant cities.

We are delighted to be accompanied by Freyda Spira, Assistant Curator in the Museum’s

Department of Drawings and Prints. Her expertise in Early Modern German art and Reformation

imagery will enhance our appreciation of the many masterpieces we will encounter.

Begin in Berlin where highlights include the Bode Museum in the company of the director;

the bust of Nefertiti on Museum Island; the restored Reichstag; and the Neue Nationalgalerie. Visit a

well-known private art collection and enjoy a special viewing of prints and drawings at the

Gemäldegalerie. Tour the royal apartments of Charlottenburg Palace, and explore Sanssouci and its

glorious gardens during a delightful day in Potsdam.

Travel by train to Leipzig, called “the

city of heroes” for its role in the 1989 Peaceful

Revolution. Enjoy a private visit to the Spinnerei

Arts Center, a factory-turned gallery-complex;

see Thomaskirche, where Johann Sebastian Bach

served as choir director; and attend a musical

performance in the city that was home to

Schumann, Wagner, Grieg, and Mendelssohn.

Stay at the sleek and modern Steigenberger

Grandhotel Handelshof in the city’s historic center.

We hope you will join us on a unique

exploration of these two exciting cities.

Sincerely,

Emily K. RaffertyPresident

In the event it becomes necessary or advisable for the comfort or well-being of the participants, or for any reason whatsoever, to alter the itinerary at any time, without notice to the participants, such alterations will be made without penalty to AAA or the Alumni Association. Additional expenses, if any, shall be borne by the participants. Baggage and personal effects are the sole responsibility of the participant at all times. The Alumni Association and AAA reserve the right to accept or decline any person as a participant at any time, or to require any participant to withdraw from The Program at their own expense when such an action is determined by AAA or the Alumni Association to be in the best interest of the participant’s health and safety, or the general welfare of the other participants.

CANCELLATION POLICY AAA must strictly adhere to its cancellation policy to offset costs incurred prior to the commencement of The Program, which may include but are not limited to: advance payments to land operators; ship charters; communication expenses; development / promotional expenses and the loss of time that might have per-mitted resale of reserved space. All cancellations must be made in writing to the offices of AAA and are subject to a $350 non-refundable administrative fee. All refunds are limited to amounts actually received by AAA and are the sole responsibility of AAA; the Alumni Association shall have no liability for refunds. At the time AAA receives written notifica-tion of cancellation, the following cancellation charges will apply: cancellations received between 120 and 91 days prior to departure, 20 percent of the program cost per person; those received between 90 and 61 days before departure, 50 percent of the program cost per person; no refunds will be given for cancellations received within 60 days of departure. No refunds are given for cancellation on or after the day of departure, or for unused portions of the tour, for any reason. Air cancellation charges, if any, will be assessed in accordance with airline regulations. All group fare tickets must be issued no less than 30 days prior to departure. NOTE: Neither AAA nor the Alumni Association shall be liable for any airline cancellation penalties incurred by the purchase of a non-refundable ticket. In the case of a cancellation due to shortage of participants, AAA will attempt to notify all participants at least 45 days prior to departure. However, AAA reserves the right to cancel The Program prior to departure for any reason and, in such case, reimbursement of refundable costs of the trip by AAA shall constitute full settlement with the participant. In the unlikely event that a dispute arises between a participant and AAA or the Alumni Association, the following conditions will apply: (a) the dispute will be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in New York, NY; (b) the dispute will be governed by New York Law; (c) the maximum amount of recovery to which a participant shall be entitled under any and all circumstances will be the sum of all monies actually received from the participant by AAA. The participant agrees that this is a fair and reasonable limitation on the damages, of any sort whatsoever, that a participant may suffer. Upon payment of the deposit to AAA, the participant agrees to be bound by the above terms and conditions.
