The Furnishings of a Writer. Thomas Mann and his study

Sobre este lugar

The newly designed permanent exhibition revolves around Thomas Mann’s famous desk, which accompanied him into exile. Together with his private library and numerous objects from different cultures, it provided the creative environment and conditions required for Mann’s work. How did the author, who lived out his final years in Switzerland, go about his work? What tools and habits shaped his writing process? What was his working day and family life like, and how did this fit around his writing? The exhibition explores these questions.
