The art of miniature painting
miniatures are not just small pictures; They are artistic spring or brush drawings in ornament form that were often used to decorate manuscripts. The origin of the term "miniature" is derived from the Latin word "minium", the red dye Mennige, which has already been used in old Egyptian death books. Miniature painting in different cultures has been spread over the centuries, with Islamic miniature painting, which culminated in the 13th century, and European miniature painting, which is mainly concentrated on portraits, outstanding examples of this art form.
The various techniques that are used in miniature painting are particularly impressive. It ranges from the use of covering colors (gouache) to glazing colors (watercolor) to the decorations with gold leaf. This illustrates the artistic detail and sophistication that is in these small works of art. Over the centuries, specific schools and styles developed that shaped every region and put the different painting techniques in the foreground.New focus in the museum
In the cultural -historical museum, new focuses are also set in the permanent exhibition. The presentation shows the work of painting families from England as well as the characteristic styles and influences that can be seen between the artists.

The connection between the history of miniature painting and the objects on display in the museum not only offers an insight into materiality, but also into the cultural meaning of this art form. Visitors are invited to be inspired by the exhibited miniatures and to learn more about the rich tradition of this artistic expression.
