Layer by layer. Late Gothic art in changing colours<\/strong>
01 May - 15 November 2026\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2026 exhibition will focus on the question of how strongly colour influenced the perception of late Gothic art and what symbolic meanings it conveyed in the 15th century. <\/p>\n

During this time you can also visit the permanent exhibition and the air-raid shelter!<\/em><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div><\/section>\n\n

Where sacred art and contemporary communication of faith meet<\/h4>\n

Since 2020, the museum has borne the new name MUSEUM AM DOM and, following a comprehensive rebranding, is asking itself the question: How does God show himself in the museum? People need a concrete, tangible and intimate experience in order to understand ecclesiastical art - and thus the communication of faith. <\/p>\n

Sacred art can often no longer be understood today without help, because the sometimes bold sign language of past eras can no longer be read - the codes can no longer be deciphered. <\/p>\n

The Museum am Dom offers places for contemplation, encounters and dialogue - places where the church opens up and makes itself accessible to the questions of the present.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

BORN IN FIRE<\/h4>\n

11 April to 31 October 2025<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Fire fascinates and casts a spell - it has a profound historical and symbolic meaning for people. <\/p>\n

The exhibition spans a wide range of different motifs of fire in Christian art: from God's revelation in the burning bush to the fire martyrdom of famous saints and high-calibre sacred art created by fire. <\/p>\n

In addition to terracotta figurines and porcelain artefacts, these include goldsmith and enamel work as well as stained glass.<\/p>\n

This exhibition will soon be available virtually.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div><\/section>\n\n

OUR PERMANENT EXHIBITION<\/h4>\n

The reopened permanent exhibition, which displays the holdings of Austria's oldest diocesan museum, has been on display since 2024. <\/p>\n

Thanks to a contemporary design, works of art from the museum collection and the parishes of the Diocese of St. P\u00f6lten from the beginnings of Christianity to the 21st century can be \"experienced\" anew.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

THE AIR PROTECTION CELLAR<\/h4>\n

The exhibition space has also recently been extended to include the former air-raid shelter under the diocese building, where a show offers insights into the anxious hours that the population around the cathedral square spent there during the bombing in 1945. <\/p>\n

The air-raid shelter can be visited during opening hours as part of the museum tour.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div><\/section>\n\n

The beginnings of the Museum am Dom<\/h4>\n

A history of collecting<\/strong><\/p>\n

The history of a museum is always a history of collecting. At the Museum am Dom (founded in 1888 as a diocesan museum), it began in the person of Johannes Fahrngruber.<\/p>\n

Driven by the spirit of the late 19th century and its social and societal upheavals, the preoccupation with one's own past became ever more prominent. <\/p>\n

Fahrngruber's \"first\" museum was housed in the rooms of the baroque monastery library of the abandoned Augustinian canons' monastery - his collection and these historically significant rooms still form the core of the museum today.<\/p>\n
