On Friday, July 31, at 2:30 p.m., the Transylvanian Museum will host a short public guided tour of the current special exhibition, “Transylvania and the Sea.”
No registration is required for the tour.
As is well known, Transylvania is a landlocked region with no access to the sea. Nevertheless, the sea is a popular motif in the work of Transylvanian artists.
Coastal landscapes—sometimes sunny, sometimes stormy—can be discovered here, as can harbor scenes depicting, on the one hand, idyllic fishing villages and, on the other, industrial ports as symbols of progress and the working world. Boats serve as motifs for cheerful vacation fun, but also as symbols of “setting out for new shores,” as the artist Kaspar Lukas Teutsch titled one of his works.
The guided tour invites visitors to “immerse” themselves in a diverse array of maritime depictions from the 19th century to the present.
The event is part of the “Friday Tour” series, which takes place on the last Friday of every month at 2:30 p.m. and explores a different fascinating theme at the Transylvanian Museum in Gundelsheim.
