S1E7 - Civilisations
Simon Schama starts his meditation on colour and civilisation with the Gothic cathedrals of Amiens and Chartres. He then moves to 16th century Venice, where masterpieces such as Giovanni Bellini’s ”San Zaccaria’ altarpiece and Titian’s `Bacchus and Ariadne’ contested the assumption that drawing was superior to colouring. As the Baroque took hold in enlightenment Europe Giambattista Tiepolo created a ceiling fresco: `Apollo and the Four Continents’ at the Bishop”s palace in Würzburg.

S0E2 - Washington
Washington tells the story of how a fatherless young soldier full of personal ambition becomes a leader of men willing to sacrifice all for the common cause. How a once-loyal British subject rises to battle an empire in a liberty-or-death campaign to forge a new nation. And then how, at the zenith of his power, the victorious general voluntarily steps down, becoming what King George III would call ”the greatest man in the world.” Believing his public duty complete, he heads into retirement ready to be a farmer. But with the young country on the verge of collapse, he is once again called to lead, creating the most powerful and successful democracy in history. You may think you know George Washington, but there’s more to our preeminent founding father than you’ve been told. Washington chips away the marble to reveal the man at the heart of our nation’s story. You’ll never look at George Washington, or the founding of our country, the same way again.

All aboard! Everything moves at Disney Parks, especially the guests — by land, water, and air! Walt loved locomotion of all kinds — trains, trams, monorails, and boats.

Every Disney Park built since has continued this tradition, creating transportation systems to whisk guests efficiently to their destinations.
