Learn more about the life and work of the Brothers Grimm on this combined tour of the permanent and special exhibition.
Through the fascinating dioramas by the artist Alexei Tchernyi, which are shown in the permanent exhibition in the FROTEUFEL area, you will learn more about the major project of the “German Dictionary”, which the Grimms began in 1838 but were never able to complete themselves.
In the special exhibition “Licht-Bilder. The Paper Worlds of Alexei Tchernyi”, five new dioramas illustrate the history of the "Children's and Household Tales" - from their initial narrative traditions in the Romantic period, through their writing by the Grimms, to the present day, when fairy tales are omnipresent in pop culture.
Look forward to a tour in which two important works by the Brothers Grimm are made accessible through Tchernyi's paper worlds.
