Magical Ceatures - Wonderful creatures made of porcelain and ceramic
Mystical creatures have always captured people's imagination. Unicorns, mermaids and dwarves also have a firm place in the history of art. Even in ancient mythology, hybrid creatures such as sphinxes and fauns often played central roles. While dragons are seen as messengers of heaven and bringers of good luck in Far Eastern mythology, in the West they are a symbol of evil that must be overcome. In contrast, the unicorn has enjoyed particular popularity since the Middle Ages at the latest. It stands for purity and great magic power.
The exhibition shows a selection of fantastic creatures made of porcelain and ceramics. The studio exhibition area (1st floor) is the starting point, from where glittering stars lead along a trail to the other exhibits in all areas of the museum.
