"A village of the world"

Σχετικά με αυτόν τον χώρο

Einsiedeln is a special place. Not only because of the monastery with all its treasures. It is a cultural, religious and economic hub with supra-regional and international connections. Einsiedeln is "A village of the world". This is the name of the permanent exhibition that will be on display at Museum Fram from April 18, 2026. Embedded in the history of the place of pilgrimage, it tells the story of explorers and inventors, publishers and priests, theatrical artists and musicians. The multi-award-winning visual effects artist Roman Kälin provides a brilliant prelude. In an animated film, he recreates the legend of St. Meinrad, who drove in the first stake for the monastery and village in the Dark Forest and was killed by two vagrants in the year 861. As a counterpoint to this glimpse into Einsiedeln's deepest past, young hermits talk about the present and future of their village at the end of the exhibition.
