Kirche St. Martin, Zillis

Since summer 1993, the permanent exhibition on the world-famous Romanesque picture ceiling of St Martin's Church has been located on the main street in Zillis (a 5-minute walk from the church). It is worth visiting the exhibition first and then the church.

Beschreibung

Using contemporary museological means, the exhibition contributes to the understanding of church ceilings and medieval imagery. Visitors are given information about the historical and geographical environment in which such a work of art could be created. The exhibition provides an insight into the painter's workshop of a medieval artist. It shows the special construction of the ceiling and reports on the state of preservation and the age of the panels. The pictorial programme and the meaning of the paintings are explained in a short film. Individual themes of the picture ceiling are presented in more detail. The exhibition invites visitors to explore the world view of the Middle Ages.
