BORN IN FIRE
11 April to 31 October 2025
Virtual experience now available!
Who hasn't played with fire and burnt their fingers - literally or on a hot hob?
Fire fascinates and casts a spell - it has a profound historical and symbolic meaning for people.
The exhibition „Born in Fire“ spans a wide range of motifs of fire in Christian art, from God's revelation in the burning bush to the martyrdom by fire of famous saints.
High-calibre sacred art created by fire testifies to its creative power.
In addition to exhibits made of terracotta and porcelain, goldsmith and enamel work and medieval stained glass are also on display.
Immerse yourself virtually in the exhibition and discover the glowing traces of fire in art up close - rich in detail, atmospheric and with new perspectives.
Experience online how art is created from embers and flames.
