"Mittagspause im Museum"

In the organizer's words:

The topic of February's lunch break is: "The Harz Mountains as a motif in 19th century painting" with Dr. Andreas Büttner (Curator of Fine Arts, SMBS) and Heike Billerbeck (Painting Conservator).

The lunch break is part of the exhibition "People and Pianos. Steinway & Sons | Grotrian-Steinweg".

People and Pianos. Steinway & Sons | Grotrian-Steinweg. The show is dedicated to the history of the two companies. Steinway & Sons, based in New York, is probably the most famous piano manufacturer in the world. It is closely linked to the local region through the vita of individual family members. The exhibition is therefore also a bridge between Braunschweig and the New World, between regional (cultural) history and the great international world of music. The common origins of the companies, the respective careers and the significance of the workshops for the development of keyboard instrument making and musical culture are highlighted. In addition to Heinrich Engelhard, Theodor Steinweg, who will celebrate his 200th birthday in 2025, will receive special attention: in the first decades of their existence, he played a decisive role in shaping the fortunes of the companies.
