Museum opening 2019: Art without borders at Admont Abbey Museum \"Play Art!\" exhibition connects blind and sighted people<\/h2>\n

Wednesday, 20 March 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Admont Abbey Museum started the new season yesterday with exhibitions that are unique in Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Art connects, invites discussion, excludes no one. Floor guidance systems, tactile media, apps and audio guides make art accessible to visually impaired people in many places. The Admont Abbey Museum has now gone one step further and created a barrier-free exhibition that can be experienced with all the senses. The \"accessible\" exhibits were presented to the public for the first time in 2012 and, due to Europe-wide interest, were transferred to Moscow, one of the best-known centres for contemporary art, a year later. Now they are back in Admont, where they will be complemented by new works to form the exhibition \"Play Art! Art for all. Art for all\". \"The focus is clearly on the experience,\" opens curator Michael Braunsteiner, and so visitors encounter many a surprise as they island-hop through the museum. Works that respond to approach, sound, scent and touch stations - this multi-sensory exhibition has earned the Stiftsmuseum f\u00fcr Gegenwartskunst international acclaim. And the aim is to remain true to its reputation in the future. Because of its unique approach, it is to be expected that other renowned museums besides Admont and Moscow will show this unique exhibition in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Of Abrogans and Nibelungs<\/h6>\n

When a fragment of the copy of the \"Abrogans\", the first German dictionary from the 8th century, was discovered in the archives of the Admont Monastery Library during digitisation work, it made headlines around the world. The Abbey Museum dedicated an exhibition to this important find, which can also be seen this year. In addition to the fragments of the Abrogans copy, of which only three exist worldwide, other sensational finds of German literature were brought to Admont and brought together there. These include part of the Song of the Nibelungs from Melk Abbey. A new addition is the 14th century St Paul's Rime Bible, which has found its way to the Admont Abbey Museum on loan.<\/p>\n

New paths, new media<\/h6>\n

Over 64,000 people visited the Abbey Museum in Admont during the 2018 summer season. Mario Brandm\u00fcller, Head of the Culture, Tourism and PR Department, knows this is an impressive figure, but emphasises: \"We don't focus on quantity, but on quality.\" This applies above all to the further development of the museum landscape. According to Brandm\u00fcller, the aim is to move with the times and focus on modern media. This year will see the launch of a specially developed visitor app, which will enable visitors to experience Admont Abbey virtually. The guidance system through the museum and the remodelled shop are also new.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

From the abbot's sermon:
<\/strong><\/em>The magnet of Admont Abbey is and remains our monastery library - often referred to as the 8th wonder of the world - and nobody scoffs at this additional designation, because it harbours a kernel of truth. The monks of Admont and the monastic family want to live the Christian faith today with God's help and pass on the faith in a missionary way, to be inviting.<\/p>\n
