Kipfenberg
One artist. One region. A versatile life's work. The exhibition invites visitors to rediscover the man and painter Carl Otto Müller. His versatile oeuvre ranges from striking self-portraits and sensitive portraits of his wife Ilse to sensual depictions of the nude. The focus is on landscapes of the Altmühl Valley - familiar places, rocks, paths, and landscapes that Müller captured with his very own perspective, thereby preserving a piece of regional history. The exhibition is complemented by still lifes and characteristic works such as the "Fasenickl". Discover C. O. Müller - a painter from Kipfenberg who captured the people and landscapes of his time with his very own perspective
How does a reconstruction come about that looks as if it has come straight to us from the past? Performers often reconstruct a very specific archaeological find and meticulously familiarize themselves with the historical production techniques of the grave goods. Through mutual exchange, clothing, jewelry, ceramics, weapons, and everyday objects are discussed and reproduced to scale. In the process, alongside a high-quality presentation of their own, a wealth of specialist knowledge is created that is always gladly shared with interested visitors. For this special day at the museum, our performers stage some interesting graves and let visitors watch them making the objects. They also do not shy away from carrying out one or another burial in a very "lively" way, and in doing so, together with our visitors, come closer to the burial customs of Romans and Germanic peoples on the Limes. This creates a presentation that not only looks beautiful, but also conveys real knowledge and makes history fun.
Following the all-day demonstration Sunday with many reconstructions, from horse harnesses to warriors' equipment, a child-friendly guided tour begins. It presents and makes tangible the life, clothing (tunic, shoes) and weapons (sword, lance, helmet, chain mail) of Saint Martin, the Roman officer. Saint Martin on horseback then awaits the children outside and they go together into the castle moat. There they receive a small Martin's gift. An event in the series "Wintertime - Museum Time" between October and Easter in cooperation with the museums in the Altmühl Valley Nature Park.
