To bridge:Podcasts and films
The Diocesan Museum team provides entertaining insights
–
It will take a little more than a year until the Diocesan Museum on the Domberg will finally reopen on Pentecost 2022 after renovation and renovation. In order to bridge the long waiting time in these Corona months, which are already museum-free, museum director Christoph Kurzeder and his team provide entertaining insights with podcasts and short films.
In a new podcast series, they present a significant, exciting or curious object every month. The current article “Memento mori – or: There is no herb against death” is most likely to fall into the latter category. The focus is on a small snuff box from the 18th century in the form of a beautifully designed miniature coffin. In the current newsletter, the Diocesan Museum confidently advertises the new offer with the words: “The beginning of a podcast series with absolute potential for addiction.” Those interested can find the stories on the website www.dimu-freising.de – there are more articles – and on Spotify (Dimu.Podcast).
Director Falk Müller and cameraman Zeno Legner allow a view of the construction site every two months in another row. In the first episode “Between Heaven and Bavaria – Carpentry at Dizzy Heights”, it goes straight under the roof. Carpenter Paul Stieglbauer talks about his work and that the old roof structure is a real work of art for him.
An analogue exhibition entitled “Commune 1121 – Visions of Another Life” is also being planned for this year. It is scheduled to open on May 1st. The Diocesan Museum is on the trail of a religious reform movement of the Middle Ages – and “unexpectedly encounters very current burning issues of the day”, as the announcement says. The occasion is a special anniversary: the former Augustinian canons’ monastery was founded in Beuerberg 900 years ago.
