Through the comic heroes Asterix and Obelix, the Celts are known as comical ruffians. But what were people really up to in the Iron Age? How did they live here in Breisgau? An interactive discovery tour shows that the Celts were not only courageous heroes, but also pioneers in arts and crafts. They travelled far and wide and traded. Unique finds, hands-on stations and illustrations invite children and young people on an exciting journey through time.
Worlds of sound. They are as diverse as our perception. You can hear them, see them or feel them. Participative and integrative, the exhibition opens up to all visitors - young and old, with handicap and without - different, active approaches to artworks dedicated to this theme. The electronic works of Peter Vogel, for example, react sometimes visually, sometimes acoustically to the actions of the audience. Others stimulate the imagination and create sounds in our heads.

Fascinating landscapes, spectacular temples or people adopting romantically staged poses while wearing traditional costumes: early photographs such as these, hand-coloured in delicate shades, still influence the image of Japan abroad to this day. Countless ateliers offered the images for sale as souvenirs. Their dissemination throughout Europe led to Japan becoming a place of longing for many travellers towards the end of the 19th century.
Zurich-based East Asia specialist Hans Bjarne Thomsen has researched the photographs of the Ethnological Collection at the Museum Natur und Mensch (Museum of Nature and Man). We now present them as a cabinet exhibition in two successive hangings, placing them in their cultural-historical context.
Hanging I: 28 October 2023 to 7 January 2024
Hanging II: 13 January to 28 April 2024
