A book tells stories, we all know that. But when the characters move through the pages, images emerge from the book to take over the room, we hear voices and music, and can even intervene in the plot, then we can only be talking about the completely new reading experience on offer in the European Hansemuseum.
Our Living Book takes visitors on an exciting journey through the medieval world of textile trading. It’s about buying and selling fabrics; the privileges, regulations, fraud, conflicts and boycotts that this entails, and the influence of the Hanse on all this. It is a complex and fascinating topic, because there are many parallels with developments today.
But to bring a book to life in a light-hearted and playful way requires sophisticated technology. So we would like to ask you to help us with a donation for this fascinating exhibit.
