The Augustinermuseum in Freiburg will re-open in March. Its permanent collection includes works by Matthias Grünewald and Hans Baldung Grien and has an international reputation which extends far beyond its regional confines. Works on display include medieval textiles, stone sculpture, stained glass (?) and precious objects from the treasury of Freiburg Minster.
In March 2010, the Augustinermuseum in Freiburg, one of the oldest and most important museums in south-west Germany, will be reopened after extensive reconstruction and renovation. At the core of its permanent collection are works of ecclesiastical art from the Middle Ages to the Baroque, which will be presented in a new, completely re-designed setting. Alongside the museum's own permanent collection, which includes paintings by Matthias Grünewald and Hans Baldung Grien, there are two large sets of works on loan which give the museum its distinctive, vernacular flair, and contribute to its international renown. The estate of the Dominican convent of Adelhausen, which was transferred to a foundation, comprises unique examples of medieval textile art and goldwork. The Erzbischöfliches Diözesanmuseum (Archiepiscopal Museum) contributes a wealth of outstanding works from all parts of the diocese to the collection, including stone sculpture, stained glass (?) and precious objects from the treasury of Freiburg Minster.
