A tour into the quiet splendor of the new treasure chamber
On July 24, 2026, a room opens at the Augustinermuseum Freiburg where medieval art, sacred treasures, and museum storytelling come together in an impressive way. Olaf Siart, head of collection and research as well as curator for medieval art, will guide through the new treasure chamber, focusing on silversmithing, textile hangings, book painting, and sacred vestments.

A house that breathes history
The Augustinermuseum, with its art and cultural history collection from the Middle Ages to the Baroque, is one of the renowned museums in Southern Germany. After its recent redesign, the house presents itself as a modern, barrier-free place for art, history, and social dialogue. Therefore, the tour promises not only an examination of the works but an art experience that makes the spiritual and material wealth of ecclesiastical art visible.

Silver, fabric, color, and light
The mix of themes in the treasure chamber is particularly appealing: bright goldsmith works, finely crafted textile fragments, luminous book painting, and liturgical garments unfold in the museum space a quiet, almost contemplative exhibition atmosphere. Those interested in art history, religious imagery, and the materiality of the Middle Ages will experience a dense, carefully curated encounter with originals here.

Why this curator's tour is particularly worthwhile
Curator's tours usually provide a behind-the-scenes look at curation. Here, it adds that the new treasure chamber of the Augustinermuseum itself is a symbol of the house: it connects collection, research, and education in a barrier-free museum building, whose rooms are designed for focused special presentations. This creates a dialogical access for visitors to religious art and cultural education. ([museen.freiburg.de](https://museen.freiburg.de/%2CLde_DE/museen/am?utm_source=openai))
