The Walhalla: Hall of Heroes

Germany: Memories of a Nation

Available for over a year

Neil MacGregor visits the Walhalla, one of the most idiosyncratic expressions of national identity in 19th century Europe - a temple to German-ness, modelled on the Parthenon, built high above the Danube in Bavaria. It honours almost 200 people, from early rulers and kings to composers, poets and scientists. Producer Paul Kobrak.
