Museum heroes - of showcase stars and depot huggers

The exhibition "Museum Heroes - Of Showcase Stars and Depot Huggers" provides a deep insight into museum work. The objects that a museum collects, preserves, researches and exhibits travel through the museum or externally in a variety of ways: they are inventoried, loaned out, stored in the depot or sent for restoration. In the process, the objects also experience curious stories and become real "museum heroes".

The volunteers selected 35 objects for the exhibition in the Marble Hall and developed their own storytelling. Visitors are guided through the fascinating world behind the museum walls by means of comic-style illustrations. At the centre of the exhibition is a particular hero: the late medieval sword.
