Martin Luther: Art and the Reformation
Exhibition Overview
Five hundred years ago, one man took a stand that shook Europe and changed the world. Now you can see the story of Martin Luther and the Reformation brought to life through astonishing artworks and historical objects, traveling outside Germany for the first time ever. Luther used art and the newly invented printing press to challenge Europe’s leaders and spread a revolution of religious, cultural, and societal change. This exhibition includes paintings, sculpture, gold, textiles, and works on paper—as well as Luther’s personal possessions and recent archaeological finds—that shed new light on an explosive era and the man who ignited it.
This special exhibition is in a gallery with unique space limitations. When planning your visit, if you or your guests require the use of a motorized scooter or other accommodations for accessibility, please call us in advance to reserve a time or make other arrangements. Any Visitor Experience staff would be pleased to help you. 612 870 3000.
