brothers Schlagintweit http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebr%C3%BCder_Schlagintweit at the Alpines Museum here in München http://www.muenchen.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten/orte/119227.html with their four year expedition Über den Himalaya http://www.alpenverein.de/kultur/neue-sonderausstellung-im-alpinen-museum-ueber-den-himalaya-die-expedition-der-brueder-schlagintweit-nach-indien-und-zentralasien-1854-bis-1858_aid_15146.html show themselves as real emulators of Marco Polo because with their delicate aquerelles, their collections and publications extended and enriched the content of Il Milione http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Il_Milione of our Marco. No aspect of Himalaya escaped their curiosity and attention and I am fortunate to have seen again, through their eyes, my familiar Himalaya http://m-polo.blogspot.de/2011/11/nepal-himalaya.html , http://m-polo.blogspot.de/2011/11/nepal-temples-in-kathmandu.html , http://m-polo.blogspot.de/2011/11/nepal-panauti.html .
