Experience the Trinity Altar at the Moment of Preservation

At the Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum Hildesheim, restoration becomes a public work observation: The Hildesheim Trinity Altar can be closely followed here during its display restoration. Between golden backgrounds, medieval carving art, and precise conservation, an art experience is created that connects art historical depth with immediate presence.

Restoration as an Aesthetic Experience

When Roksana Jachim works on Tuesdays from 4 to 5 PM, the quiet, concentrated work on the original takes center stage. Visitors experience not only a significant altarpiece from the 15th century, but also the careful analysis of materials, coatings, and substance. This makes the exhibition a rare encounter with the practice of restoration, where knowledge, craftsmanship, and responsibility intertwine.

A Masterpiece of Late Medieval Art in Focus

The Trinity Altar is among the precious works of the Hildesheim art landscape. Its gold finishes, plastic details, and the narrative power of the altar unfold a special spatial effect in the museum. The display restoration reveals how much art historical information is hidden in layers, traces, and interventions. This is precisely what makes this presentation appealing: Not only the completed artwork, but also its preservation process becomes readable.

Cooperation between Museum and University

The restoration is a cooperation project with HAWK University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hildesheim/Holzminden/Göttingen. This combines museum pedagogical mediation with scientific support. The audience gains insights into conservatorial decisions, the preservation of a high-ranking cultural asset, and the fragility of historical original substance. For art enthusiasts, a rare look behind the scenes of curation and restoration is created.

The RPM as a Place of Lively Cultural Mediation

The Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum is known for its diverse collections and offers a format with the display restoration that connects education and emotional closeness. The open encounter with the restorer creates direct access to cultural education and allows visitors to immediately comprehend the responsibility for historical objects. Thus, the museum becomes a learning place where knowledge is not abstract but visible and tangible.

Conclusion

This display restoration promises not a fleeting event, but a concentrated art experience full of substance. Those who visit the Hildesheim Trinity Altar live at the RPM experience restoration as the art of preservation, as an aesthetic experience, and as a lively mediation of cultural history. A visit is definitely worthwhile to see this significant work in the process of its preservation.
