The invisible exhibition
Two apparent contradictions characterize this unusual project: First, the attempt to translate the "invisible" into a "visual experience" such as an exhibition – the result is a cautious, delicate and almost mysterious act within the MUT's permanent exhibition, and must be discovered by the visitors themselves. And secondly, the contrast of ancient art with completely new, contemporary objects by the Regensburg artist Stefan Göler.
The special exhibition can be seen in the Museum Ancient Cultures | Hohentübingen Castle until 10.1.2020.
1000 Names of Vishnu – Illustrated Sanskrit manuscripts

The works contain Sanskrit texts, including the famous Bhagavadgītā ("Song of the Sublime") and the 1000 Names of Vishnu, both with beautiful miniatures on Indian mythology.
