Over the
course of 100 years, numerous artefacts have been accumulated in the Theatre
and Music Museum and they are as special as the stories they tell and the people
who owned them. Through these stories, a world opens filled with sadness and
joy, new beginnings and final goodbyes, eternal love and little mischiefs,
sporting rivalry and the joy of play. We have selected 100 objects from the
museum collection for the exhibition and accompanied them with stories and
pictures.
For the first time, the entire building of the Theatre and Music Museum has been opened to the public, and at the exhibition, visitors can access rooms where the archives used to be or where historians worked. We are happy to show our treasures to celebrate the museum's birthday with you.
