This was the 2024 exhibition

Three major themes define the exhibition "RENAISSANCE then, now & here": the new idea of man at the centre, the exploration of the world and Schallaburg Castle as a Renaissance palace. This exciting epoch is brought to life in 16 rooms - by means of fascinating exhibits from Austria and abroad, and not least because of Schallaburg Castle itself as an impressive representative of its time. It is a walk-in exhibit and, with its magnificent architecture and historical significance, epitomises the lifestyle and spirit of the Renaissance. From the ornate decorations to the prestigious architecture, Schallaburg Castle tells stories of power, influence and the pursuit of beauty that was typical of the Renaissance. As a visitor, you are not only entering an exhibition, but also a living testimony to bygone times that opens up a whole new perspective on the Renaissance. Embark on a fascinating journey through a total of 16 rooms - and don't forget the castle grounds!
Because the Renaissance also means curiosity about the world, about the new - and this is reflected in this exhibition. For the first time, the entire grounds of Schallaburg Castle are included in an exhibition and rooms that were previously closed are opened up for you. Experience the Renaissance in every corner of the historic castle and let the Renaissance architecture take you back in time.
