Antique museum in Schnoor
The Antikenmuseum im Schnoor in Bremen was a privately owned museum (foundation). In 2005 it was opened in the Marterburg in the Schnoorviertel of Bremen in the vicinity of Böttcherstrasse and the Bremen art gallery. With the subtitle “Masterpieces of Greek vase art from the Zimmermann Collection ”, it was a special museum for antique vases and therefore unique in Germany.
In 2004, the Bremen couple Heidrun and Manfred Zimmermann decided to present their private collection of over 60 ancient Greek vases to the public.
The core of the museum was formed between 560 and 350 BC in antiquity . Black- and red-figure vases made in BC (see Greek vase painting ). The variety of subjects on the amphorae , bowls and other vessels offered insights into the ancient culture of Greece . One of the most important exhibits was a Panathenaic prize amphora , which is attributed to the Cleophrades painter , and an amphora by the fallow deer painter . Other important exhibits, in addition to these and other amphorae, were bowls such as those of the Triptolemos, Onesimos or Macron , but also lekytes (anointing oil vessels).
The antiquities museum offered lectures under the title “Bremen antiquities talks” that provided background information on the exhibits.
The museum was closed in December 2018 and the collection was given to the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg on permanent loan .
