The cabinets of curiosities of Burgdorf Castle invite to take part in a journey of discovery. Eleven images and many objects will tell the tale of the lives and deeds of several Burgdorf people.

As in the curiosity cabinets of the refined Renaissance and Baroque periods, works of art, natural objects and exotic pieces from distant lands rub shoulders here. The ordinary is displayed alongside the rare or strange, merging them into cabinets of curiosities where borders between everyday life and art blur.

The cabinets of Burgdorf Castle continue this tradition and, in their own way, take the public into new worlds. We do not classify or give context for what is shown; objects of historical interest are found alongside everyday objects: new associations that could give rise to different stories.
