Through the comic heroes Asterix and Obelix, the Celts are known as comical ruffians. But what were people really up to in the Iron Age? How did they live here in Breisgau? An interactive discovery tour shows that the Celts were not only courageous heroes, but also pioneers in arts and crafts. They travelled far and wide and traded. Unique finds, hands-on stations and illustrations invite children and young people on an exciting journey through time.
Music brings people together all over the world, accompanies ceremonies and celebrations, transports emotions, information and history. It is an important source of identity and belonging. Musical instruments and their cultural significance are subject to constant change and are closely linked to social developments. The exhibition invites visitors to explore the diverse roles of music and sounds, which also shed light on local and global power relations.
Magnificent golds and bright colors, elegant lines and refined artistic techniques - this is how precious Italian paintings by Fra Angelico, Guido da Siena or Sandro Botticelli inspire. They were created in famous art centers such as Florence or Siena. The exhibition shows the pictorial world of churches and private devotion, but also offers insights into the art of stately courts. The Lindenau Museum in Altenburg owns one of the most important collections of Italian paintings from the 13th to the early 16th century abroad. On the occasion of its renovation, the treasures are guests in Freiburg.
The famous series of views of Rome by Giovanni Battista Piranesi shows historic buildings from antiquity to the Baroque. Impressively staged in terms of perspective and lighting, the monuments that still shape the face of the eternal city today convey much of its enduring grandeur. If you look closely, you will discover countless staffage figures in the foreground, capturing the bustling life on the streets. Because the prints were popular as souvenirs, the series continued to be added to over the years. Early prints from the Augustinian Museum's holdings complement two copper printing plates from the Calcografia Nazionale (Rome). They illustrate the work of the etcher and the technique.
Worlds of sound. They are as diverse as our perception. You can hear them, see them or feel them. Participative and integrative, the exhibition opens up to all visitors - young and old, with handicap and without - different, active approaches to artworks dedicated to this theme. The electronic works of Peter Vogel, for example, react sometimes visually, sometimes acoustically to the actions of the audience. Others stimulate the imagination and create sounds in our heads.
