What do I wear?
Lower Franconia between trends and tradition
Special exhibition October 24, 2024 to March 2, 2025
The new special exhibition in cooperation with the Lower Franconian Cultural Foundation of the District of Lower Franconia on the subject of fashion in Lower Franconia awaits you in our Kelterhalle:
Since time immemorial, clothing has fulfilled far more than just the practical purpose of protecting us from the cold, rain or sun. It is a powerful means of communication that allows us to express our personality and identity, demonstrate power, wealth and beliefs and show our origin or affiliation. Every decision we make about our clothes speaks volumes about ourselves. The traveling exhibition "Was zieh' ich nur an? Lower Franconia between trends and tradition explores the many facets of textile expression in the past and present. It poses the questions: What did and do people in Lower Franconia wear? And why? The exhibition invites you to discover the rich history and current trends in clothing in Lower Franconia and to explore how clothing acts as a form of expression in our society. Immerse yourself in the world of fashion and learn how clothing connects us all and at the same time emphasizes our individuality.
