The exhibition "Corvey and the Legacy of Antiquity" highlights the cultural significance of the former Corvey Monastery, founded 1,200 years ago. It shows how monasteries preserved and passed on ancient knowledge, in particular through the copying of ancient writings and the integration of ancient art techniques.
With over 120 objects on loan from European museums and interactive room installations, such as those by calligrapher Brody Neuenschwander, the exhibition illustrates how ancient influences shaped the art, science and written culture of the Middle Ages
