Gifts of love, wedding furniture, bridal presents … Evidence of customs and rituals surrounding the most important day in life are at the centre of this year’s special exhibition on the upper floor of the Sumerauerhof St. Florian. In past centuries, a large proportion of painted furniture was produced as wedding items. The ‘Wedding.Furniture’ exhibition focuses on this aspect in particular, but also uses historical objects to explore topics such as dowries, arranged marriages, legal issues, wedding clothes and jewellery. At the centre of the ‘Bird.Wedding’ exhibition on the ground floor is the well-known folk song ‘A bird wanted to get married’, which has been an integral part of our culture for many generations. The birds featured in the song are presented. In addition to symbolism, associations and cultural heritage, the exhibition also deals with biological topics such as the mating behaviour of individual bird species.
