Stories that draw you closer

The exhibition focuses on people whose life paths have shaped the land. Original exhibits, media stations, and spatial designs create an event experience that connects knowledge with atmosphere. The presentation spans from the agricultural world of the 19th century through industrialization and upheavals of the 20th century to the present day.

A visit with an eye for detail

The interplay between historical backdrop and modern presentation is particularly striking. Upon entering the exhibition, one quickly feels the calm, concentrated audience atmosphere of a place where content is not only presented but becomes sensibly tangible. 307 original exhibits, numerous photos and graphics, and many media stations make the Schaffensland a vivid place for culture enthusiasts, families, and groups.
