The exhibition was arranged and conceived with an inclusive ethos. As well as multi-sensory and digital experiences all along the route of the exhibition, five tactile stations showcase an object or work relating to a different period, showing Bavaria’s many riches (historical, culture, artistic and so on).

A reliquary buckle from the 6th century; a medieval sculpture of the head of a knight; the portrait of Jacob Fugger the Rich by Albrecht Dürer (1520); a sculpture of a Swedish lion giving wine from the 17th century; and the painting Napoleon meeting Dalberg at Aschaffenburg (2 October 1806) by du Castelet and Debret (1812).

This project required the multidisciplinary talents of our team: the pictorial works were interpreted using several tactile techniques (tactile drawings, zoom-ins to certain details of the painting, bas-reliefs of various objects, samples of materials related to objects depicted in the work); the medieval sculpture of the head of a knight was recreated by our own sculptor, a craft work of great precision, giving visitors the opportunity of touching a stone reproduction, similar to the original material.
