Mother book

By constantly changing special exhibitions in this city, the curator achieved curiosity and all-round interest among museum visitors. Was shown art , crafts , architecture and history . The expositions included works by living and historical artistic personalities. The artists of the association Die Scholle were particularly taken into account.
