Exhibition: Cultural Contacts. Living in Europe

The exhibition shows a cross-section of the diverse collections of the Museum of European Cultures on 700 square metres. With its thematic approach, it picks up discussions about social movements and demarcations. For example, a magnificent gondola from Venice, built in 1910, is representative of all thematic areas from trade and travel to migration and cultural localisation.

Exhibition: The Giant Mechanical Nativity Scene from the Ore Mountains

On 15 square meters the most important stages of Jesus' life are depicted by more than 300 figures. The master painter Max Vogel built this mountain, but it was last completely assembled in 1940. In 1987, Karl-Heinz Fischer bought the mountain and renewed it with a small technical marvel, which enables the movement of the figures.

One of the highlights is a walk-in room sculpture by artist Olaf Holzapfel and the interactive stations for visitors.
