Women Power in the Middle Ages: A Special Tour at the Augustiner Museum
How much self-determination, wisdom, and social influence do medieval images convey? During the tour Augustine Friends Lead: Not Me Too in the Middle Ages, on October 2, 2026, the treasure chamber of the Augustiner Museum opens for a fascinating look at women's roles and female agency in the Middle Ages.
Historical Tapestries as Windows into a Past World
Monika Schacherer from the Friends of the Augustiner Museum will take participants to two outstanding textile artworks: the Malterer and the Women's Cleverness Tapestry. The artistically designed tapestries combine textile craftsmanship, symbolism, and medieval narrative traditions. Their image motifs provide direct access to local history and make cultural heritage vividly tangible.
Women's Roles, Strength, and Social Perspectives
The focus is on the Women Power of the Middle Ages. The tour examines how women are depicted in medieval stories, what roles are ascribed to them, and where independent strategies, influence, and resistance can be discerned. This creates a city tour through cultural history that connects historical representations with today's questions about power, self-determination, and social participation.
Discovery Experience in the Treasure Chamber
The special atmosphere of the museum collection, the fine structures of the textiles, and the richly detailed image scenes create a sensual discovery experience. Instead of merely viewing medieval history from books, visitors experience it through original artworks close at hand. The expert perspective of the tour illuminates hidden details and makes the attractions of the Augustiner Museum newly experienceable.
Meeting Point and Schedule
The one-hour tour takes place on Friday, October 2, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The meeting point is the foyer in the House of Graphic Collection at Salzstraße 32/34. The event is weather-independent and, according to the organizer, barrier-free according to DIN 18040.
