Historical Highlights from the Moselle Valley - Special Exhibition at the Machern Monastery

• Castles and palaces - what did they look like around the turn of the century
• The Moselle in art - artists and photographers discover the Moselle
• Summer freshness on the Moselle - advertising for the region, examples from 1913
• The wine and historical maps - the role and development of viticulture since 1900 and insight into the tools. When, for example, was a cask of wine rolled from Bernkastel to Berlin?
• The Moselle Valley Railway in text and image - not just "drunken little train" but support for the development of the region. Residents as well as visitors alike discover old village and building views that are worth searching for again today. A look into the past also sharpens the view for the present and encourages thoughts about the future.

The exhibition invites repeated visits.
The ticket – personal – is valid for the exhibition on three consecutive days.

The exhibition can be seen during the opening hours of the Historical Toy and Icon Museum. In addition to the special exhibition, over 3000 historical toys from the turn of the century and more than 220 icons from Russia, Ethiopia, and the Balkan countries are on display. The museum is accessible by elevator and is barrier-free.

Guided tours on the individual topics of the exhibition on five dates each Sunday:
August 23, September 20, September 27, October 4 & October 18, 2026,   – starting at 3:00 p.m.
