They subsisted from hunting and from the fruits provided by nature. Thus began the evolution of culture. This display presents the development of tools, ornaments, vessels, and weapons from Europe from the Stone Age up until the Carolingian era. The exhibition begins with an approximately 120,000- year-old hand axe, a universal tool made of flint. Among the most significant objects are the Golden Cone from Ezelsdorf-Buch (headdress of a Bronze Age sun priest), a sumptuous, approximately 1500-year-old eagle fibula, and a richly-decorated Roman parade helmet. 02 03 01 01.

Between these two poles, regional and national artistic developments are explained, as are changes in form and function. Superb furnishings provide insight into the opulence and pictorial programs of medieval churches and demonstrate their original liturgical uses. With the Carolin- gian Ardenne Cross, the Codex Aureus gold book cover from Echternach, and the Armilla from the circle of Frederick Barbarossa, the museum‘s holdings of gold work are world- renowned. Crowning the exceptional collection of medieval tapestries is the “Spieleteppich” (game tapestry) from circa 1400. 02 03 01 01. Tapestry Depicting Courtly Games, ca. 1400 02.

Lion Aquamanile, late 12th century 6 Perceptions of the Middle Ages and the Founding Concept of the Germanisches Nationalmuseums ROOMS 2-3 as of 2012 Medieval art is one of the primary areas of collecting at the GNM. Providing an introduction within the lapidarium, medi- eval objects are contrasted with 19th century perceptions of the Middle Ages. The focal point is composed of the reliquary shrine, as one of the most historically significant pieces from the era of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. A series of stained-glass windows from 1875/76 illustrates the 19th century treatment and creative embellishment of histori- cal sources during the rediscovery of the Middle Ages. The 19th century view of the Middle Ages leads to the found- ing concept of the GNM between the Late Romantic cult of the Middle Ages and the scholarly practice of musealization. Early acquisitions reflect the range of collection interests and the appreciation of history at the time. Documentation media such as cast copies, copies of pictures, early photographs, index cards, and even computers exemplify the changes in museum work. 02 01 01. Reliquary Shrine, 1438 – 40 02. Philipp Veit, Germania, 1848 7 Late Middle Ages ROOMS 21-39 The art and culture of the Late Middle Ages occupies a special position in the holdings of the GNM. Nuremberg is represented by internationally-celebrated works, such as the 14th century bronze fountain figure of Hansel, or the original figures from the Schöner Brunnen (Beautiful Fountain) at the city‘s Hauptmarkt (central marketplace). In particular abun- dance are works from the late 15th century by artists such as Veit Stoss, Adam Kraft, Tilman Riemenschneider, Hans Pleydenwurff, and Michael Wolgemut in the Bell Hall, Medie- val Hall, Refectory and Small Cloister. Also located there are exceptional sculptures and paintings from other German- speaking regions, such as the Annunciation by Konrad Witz from Basel. Another group is comprised of paintings from the Cologne school of painters from the circle of Stefan Lochner. The monks‘ cells of the former Carthusian monastery contain diverse references to Late Medieval daily life. 02 03 01 01. Master of the Augustinian Altar, St. Luke Painting the Virgin, 1487 02.

Girdle Book, 1471 8 Garden and Weaponry Hall ROOMS 46-47 The exhibition of historic weaponry and hunting relics spans the period from the Early Middle Ages to the 18th century. A broad spectrum is featured, from the smallest miniature pistols to imposing cannon barrels. Also on exhibit are items from the world of knights, well-armed townspeople, mercenaries and courtly culture. The so-called pot helmet is outstanding and excellently preserved. An extraordinarily rare collection of tournament armor as well as valuable early firearms round out the picture. The second room spotlights the world of architectural gar- dens. The sculptures on display are an integral part of this garden style, which was adopted from France during the 18th century. The geometrically-designed miniature landscapes include avenues, terraces, hedgerows, and water features. Attesting to longings for idylls and intimacy, the gardens also provided wonderful backdrops for festivities with dancing, plays, and games. 02 03 01 01.

Crossbow, 2nd half of the 16th century 9 Historical Musical Instruments ROOMS 42-43 The collection of historical musical instruments ranks among the most significant of its kind worldwide, preserving inst- ruments of every type from the 16th to the 20th centuries. Internationally unparalleled is the large inventory of historical keyboard instruments, with numerous early fortepianos of primarily southern German and Viennese provenance. An ad- ditional focus is comprised of musical instruments from the formerly Free Imperial City of Nuremberg, especially brass and woodwind instruments, as well as string instruments and lutes. Within the exhibition can be seen, among others, one of the oldest surviving clarinets and one of the first German grand pianos. The workshop of a clarinet and oboe maker and a machine for winding piano strings demonstrate which traditional mechanical techniques are still used for building musical instruments in the 20th century. 03 01 02 01.
