Dear Museum Traveler,

WHITE

The inaugural World Leaders Symposium in 2006, led by such luminaries as Mikhail Gorbachev and Lech Walesa, was a remarkably successful new endeavor in educational travel. This fall, embark on another exceptional learning program on our 2007 World Leaders Symposium: Venice and the Dalmatian Coast. Join a panel of eminent speakers, among them: • Madeleine Albright, former U.S. Secretary of State • William Perry, former U.S. Secretary of Defense • Peter Galbraith, former U.S. Ambassador • Martti Ahtisaari, former President of Finland Beautiful and culturally diverse, the Balkans almost seem too exquisite a setting for some of the world’s most turbulent conflicts. Traveling along the rugged, pristine Dalmatian Coast, learn about the breakup of Yugoslavia and the Kosovo crisis in the 1990s, examining the relevance of these events on today’s delicate sociopolitical climate. Gather in Venice, Italy, to board the elegant Le Diamant and cruise through Croatia’s dramatic Kornati Islands and to Mostar, site of the recently restored Stari Most bridge. Continue to cosmopolitan Dubrovnik and witness the work of an organization building cross-border institutions that help rival ethnic clans coexist. Sail into the dramatic triple bay of Kotor, and wend along spectacular coastlines, delving into centuries of history along the way. In multicultural Sarajevo, see striking examples of mosques, synagogues, and cathedrals; then call at infamous Sniper’s Alley. In Split, relish a visit to the monumental Diocletian’s Palace, then meet with local dignitaries. Finally, spend a day on the Croatian island gem of Hvar before returning to Venice for a final session. Relish the opportunity to engage in dialogues and group sessions with distinguished statesmen who played key roles brokering peace during Yugoslavia’s breakup, along with leading academics who have closely studied the region. Visits to the actual sites of many dramatic events in this stillseldom visited part of the world enhance this rare educational travel program. Join us on this peerless exploration of complex history amid stunning landscapes.
