Silver Medals of the Welfs: Curator's Tour at the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum
On July 19, 2026, the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum in Braunschweig opens its doors for a tour through the world of Welf silver medals. Between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM, Prof. Dr. Johannes Wienand will guide a collection that impressively combines economic and monetary history, medal art, and silver mining in the Harz.
Insights into the Glittering History of the Welfs
The tour focuses on coins and medals as historical testimonies of power, representation, and economic change. Visitors will experience an exhibition that is not only fascinating from an art history perspective but also makes the connection between silver extraction, minting, and rule visible.
A Museum with Strong Appeal
The Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum is one of the traditional art museums in Braunschweig and presents the silver medals in an accessible building on Museumstraße. The location in the city center, the clear organization, and the professional depth of the curator's tour make the event particularly attractive for culture-loving guests and museum enthusiasts.
What Makes This Tour Special
The focus is not only on the object but also its context: The development of Welf coin minting, the role of Harz silver, and the artistic medal culture are vividly linked. This creates a lively approach to a piece of regional and power history that extends far beyond the display case.
Those who want to experience art history, numismatics, and regional culture in a compact format will find a strong date in the summer calendar here. The tour promises a well-founded context, impressive exhibits, and a concentrated exhibition experience that lingers long after.
