The Margravial Opera House is the best preserved example of a free-standing Baroque court theatre, which in 2012 earned it a place on UNESCO’s World Heritage list.
This year a new World Heritage information centre entitled ‘Margravial Opera House. World Heritage & Museum’ opened its doors.
Visitors can immerse themselves in the world of courtly festivals and
music culture. In addition to numerous interactive stations, a
true-to-scale, functional stage reconstruction is available to try out
elements of stage technology such as the curtain or the scenery drive.
The museum was specifically designed to be accessible to everyone.
With the help of a multimedia guide for adults in various languages, at
least two senses are always addressed. The guide is also available in
sign language, as an audio description and in simplified language. A
multimedia guide for children in German is also available.
The exhibition is equipped with tactile floor markings and plans for
visually impaired visitors. In addition to exhibits, pictures and texts
there are hands-on, tactile, audio and film stations providing the
opportunity for active participation. |

The Marstallmuseum in Nymphenburg Palace houses the internationally unique collection of vehicles belonging to King Ludwig II.
The king participated personally in the production of his state
vehicles, and was intensively involved from the initial idea to the
final details in the planning and building of the coaches and sleighs.
Also on display in the museum is the model of a sleigh with putti,
a mere 20 centimetres long, which was made for King Ludwig II in order
to give him a better idea of what the sleigh would look like full size.
With over forty representative carriages, coaches and sleighs
that belonged to the Wittelsbachs, the museum documents the art of
vehicle building at the court over a period of three hundred years.
Magnificent harnesses, fine riding accoutrements and historical pictures
bring the travel and representational culture of the court to life. |

Following comprehensive renovation, visitors can now experience the reopened Princely Apartments and the State Gallery in Johannisburg Palace in Aschaffenburg.
The original furniture from the palace from the end of the 18th century
is on display in the magnificent historical apartments. The 250
impressive paintings in the branch gallery of the Bavaria State Painting
Collections and the valuable collection of vestments in the Parament
Chamber have also been redesigned.
This important Late Renaissance palace is located in the centre of
Aschaffenburg on the banks of the River Main and served until 1803 as
the subsidiary residence of the Mainz archbishops and electors.
The world’s largest collection of cork architectural models, faithful
reproductions of the most famous buildings in ancient Rome, is a further
special feature of the Johannisburg Palace. |
