Traveling exhibition at the Riedmuseum
At the start of the season, the Riedmuseum Ottersdorf is showing the traveling exhibition "Cultural History of the Beaver" by the BUND regional association Ostwürttemberg from March 1 to April 19.
In ten roll-ups, the exhibition covers a wide variety of cultural-historical aspects relating to Europe's largest rodent: first and foremost, the beaver is known as a master builder. It creates impressive dams and changes entire landscapes. At the same time, the beaver is of great importance to humans. For example, beaver fur was a sought-after commodity for centuries. And last but not least, parts of the beaver were important ingredients for medicine and were considered a special delicacy in certain regions.
The Riedmuseum is open Fri-Sun and on public holidays from 2 pm to 6 pm. The exhibition is included in the admission price.
