Large stairs leading up to the new annex set the mood for a secular pilgrimage into the abundant history of Einsiedeln abbey. The abbey’s dimensions, the colors of the baroque church and the rituals related to the famous Black Madonna establish the exhibition’s atmosphere.
Many of the objects on display, mostly gifts of generous pilgrims, are shown for the first time outside of the abbey as part of an impressive mise-en-scène. The presentation of objects such as precious ornaments and textiles reveals the abbey’s significance beyond a religious context.
The exhibition is shown from September 16, 2017 to Januar 21, 2018.
