Review: If you have ever visited Venice, this CD will bring you back to the art, architecture and feel of the city. This is a well thought out tour with excellent audio and visual features. The CD is easy to use with Windows Media Player and no downloads! Just pop it in your CD drive and re-explore Venice at your own pace!

Summary: Museum Planet Venice, Vol. I
Review: Museum Planet's incomparable "talking book" guides to Venice are the next best thing to being there, offering a beautiful visual tour through hundreds of color photos, a knowledgable guide, in depth histories of the monuments. The best possible preparation for a trip to Venice, and a welcome review later, when the magnificent sites and views are brought to life again. Great gift for anyone who loves Venice, and who doesn't?

Review: My attention was directed to a review here where my name was used regarding

A product I had never seen. So I bought the two CD-ROMs published by

Museum Planet--'Museum Planet Venice' Volumes I & II They're fabulous! I'm

Jewish, so the information on the Venetian Ghetto was particularly

interesting to me. Actually all of it was great. So buy these disks. Also

you can visit my website michelvanrijn.com for the latest dirt on the art

world. I particularly like to out ex-convicts like Al Taubman and tax cheats

and smugglers. Really the site is quite exciting if I do say so myself. Just

click on "latest updates."

Summary: La Serenissima and David Brown
Review: Whether you're a casual traveler or an experienced tour guide, a beginning graduate student of art history or a tenured professor who specializes in Venetian art, you're going to be overwhelmed when you get to Venice. As you step aboard one of La Serenissima's water buses and ply your way down the Grand Canal, your mind begins to spin. Every palace you pass is imposing, exquisite, saturated with history. No matter how much you think you know, you will be trying to recall important information for each and every astonishingly beautiful building. You can leaf through a guide book. But a much better way is to pop these inexpensive cd's into your lap top and listen to David Brown talk you through the whole thing.

Museum Planet Presents: Venice, Italy (vols I & II) is better than the kind of "acoustaguide" you get in a museum, primarily because it is so much more informative.

Say you're planning a morning ramble that will take in Ss. Giovanni e Paolo and perhaps later on Santa Maria dei Frari. You will be bedazzled by what you see in these churches; at the same time, you'll be besieged by a virtual commotion of visual data. With Museum Planet, what had been a jumble becomes comprehensible and knowable. It takes a lifetime to know Venice. Here's where you start. It really is the next best thing to being there; and it changes what it means to be there.
