In what follows you will find an introduction to the broad spectrum of the museum’s permanent collection, which is complemented by temporary special exhibitions. Please come in!

3rd July – 30th December 2021: 
We host the special exhibition “Here I stand. Conscience and Protest – 1521 to 2021”. It marks the 500th anniversary of the Diet of Worms in 1521, at which Martin Luther refused to recant his writings and theses on the sale of indulgences and on the authority of the Church to interpret the Holy Scripture. This anniversary serves as an opportunity to examine the historical development of the notion “freedom of conscience”.
