Exhibition
From October 2005 to December 2010 Dresden’s Stadtmuseum [City Museum] and the Stiftung Frauenkirche organised an exhibition about the development, the effect and the rebuilding of the Frauenkirche. The exhibition was divided into three different themes. In the first part, the predecessor of George Bähr’s Frauenkirche in its architectural and especially in its cultural-historical importance, was introduced. In the second part, the planning and building history of Georg Bähr’s baroque new building was illustrated. Here, the role of the Frauenkirche in music and church history was discussed. The third part was devoted to the importance of the Frauenkirche in the Second World War, its destruction and its rebuilding.
Numerous authentic exhibits, supplemented by models, gave visitors a three-dimensional impression of the building history of the famous dome. Artefacts, drawings and models could be viewed; specially recorded sound documents could be heard; and video recordings and computer animations could be seen.
