Curator Linda Pittnerová will guide you through the new special exhibition.
Sat, 26.04.25, 3 pm

The exhibition takes a cultural-historical look at life and work on the rivers Rhine and Murg over the course of time. It is about the rivers as a source of food and transportation routes since ancient times, as the basis of traditional trades, some of which are now extinct, but also as places of longing for tourism, especially during the Romantic period. On the one hand, the existential dependence of people on the waters and the close interweaving of individual biographies with them becomes clear. On the other hand, human interventions in the river and floodplain ecosystems - from the straightening of the Rhine in the 19th century to barrages, pollution and today's renaturation projects - are also highlighted.
