The exhibition presents objects relating to the birth and spread of the Anabaptists in general and in South Tyrol in particular. The movement, which originated in the 16th century, had a large following in the Tyrol. One of the most important representatives was Jakob Hutter, whose community still exists in America today. The Anabaptist movement rejected all forms of violence, practised adult baptism and sought to live consistently according to the principles of Jesus' teaching. The exhibition also recalls the cruelty of the government's persecution of the Anabaptists. Hundreds of Anabaptists were imprisoned, tortured and executed, or forced to flee the country. The highlight of the exhibition is an original reproduction of Johannes Gutenberg's 1445 print. Visitors will have the opportunity to print original copies with this historic printing press. We offer guided tours for schools and groups lasting 50 or 90 minutes. These are also available outside opening hours by prior arrangement. Participation is free of charge. In german language.
