Stained Glass Between Treasure and Present: ARTklusiv in Bamberg

ARTklusiv at the Diocesan Museum Bamberg offers a rare insight into the art of stained glass painting. The focus is on the Andreas window from 1414, the only preserved medieval colored glazing of the Bamberg Cathedral, which is placed in dialogue with contemporary art.

An Artistic Experience Between Light, Color, and History

The exhibition visually demonstrates how glass is not only a material but also a medium of light. Between medieval piety, sacred imagery, and modern forms of expression, a special exhibition atmosphere unfolds where the contemplation of the pieces becomes an aesthetic experience.

Dialogues with Gerhard Richter, Imi Knoebel, and Xenia Hausner

ARTklusiv connects historical tradition with visionary positions of the present. The names of Gerhard Richter, Imi Knoebel, and Xenia Hausner mark different approaches to color and spatial effects that relate here to stained glass painting. This creates an art-historically precise yet sensual narrative about continuity and change.

Restoration as Cultural Education

Especially impressive is the view of the elaborate restoration of the fragile collection by the Derix Glass Studios. From mouth-blown glass to modern manufacturing techniques, the exhibition shows how artisanal tradition, conservation expertise, and museum education work together. This is precisely where its value lies for cultural education and museum pedagogical perception.

Guided Tour with Professional Depth

The special exhibition is guided by Mag. Carola Marie Schmitt, director of the Diocesan Museum. Those interested in curation, sacred art, and the relationship between image, light, and space will receive a well-founded, visually conveyed introduction to one of the most sensitive art media.

ARTklusiv promises a calm, focused museum visit with intellectual depth and visual brilliance. Anyone wishing to not only see stained glass painting but experience it in the interplay of history, the present, and light should definitely visit this exhibition live in Bamberg.
