OEA Trip to Stuttgart
OEA Trip to Stuttgart

In May 2008, Corinna organized a group study tour to Stuttgart, capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany.

The highlights of the trip included David Chipperfield’s Museum of Modern Literature at Marbach am Neckar and a tour around the Weissenhofseidlung housing development.

We were incredible lucky with the weather and a great time was had by all.
