775 – Westphalia. The exhibition

LWL-Museum in der Kaiserpfalz, Paderborn
Exhibition

About the project

From a mysterious first mention to a duchy to a kingdom to a Prussian province. Westphalia has had many faces in history. In the Imperial Palace in Paderborn - a base for Charlemagne during the Saxon Wars - the public strolls through Westphalia's history. The multifaceted development of the region since it was first mentioned in 775 can be experienced on around a thousand square meters of art-historical, historical and archaeological exhibits.
