The exhibition series "Baroque meets Modern" will continue in 2026 at Weissenstein Castle and presents Christiane Toewe, an artist who impressively connects material, light, and space. Under the title "choose your color in between", Toewe transforms the historic rooms into a sensory experience of light, color, and porcelain. Her latest works, created in China, exhibit an extraordinary visual presence: dense, pasty glazes reflect ambient light and create a shifting play of colors that changes with each movement of the observer. The focus is not on the obvious, but on what lies in between. Toewe explores fields of tension such as loud and quiet, above and below, or good and evil – intentionally directing attention to those transitions where perception and emotion arise. The exhibition thus becomes an invitation to engage with subtle nuances and discover new perspectives. Particularly impressive is the interplay of material and light: porcelain, which appears both fragile and powerful, reveals its full aesthetic depth only through targeted lighting. Spaces change, atmospheres shift – and with them the perception of the visitors. Especially in dialogue with the baroque architecture of Weissenstein Castle, an extraordinary tension arises: the past and present, opulence and reduction, materiality and light engage in an intense exchange, making the exhibition an immersive experience.

The conflict-ridden coexistence with the Christian majority over the centuries, expulsions, and pogroms, as well as the deep impact of National Socialism, have led to the material and spiritual culture of the Bamberg Jews being preserved only in fragments. The exhibition seeks to make the remaining traces visible and to represent their connections in history. Scientific findings from archaeology and historical research have been prepared in a vivid manner for presentation and made accessible to a wide audience. Exhibits from all areas of life provide insight into the social and personal lives of the Jewish minority. History is made tangible, among other things, through the diary of the Jewish girl Erika Löbl, which offers a starting point for a diverse engagement with National Socialism, anti-Semitism, racism, religion, and the topics of flight and asylum from different perspectives. The exhibition "Jewish Life in Bamberg" is part of the permanent exhibition at the Historical Museum Bamberg. Info: 0951 87-1140Event link
