After the standstill during the first phase of the corona pandemic, a transformation process has started which is really amazing. At first the new channels of communication and presentation completely had to replace the visit to the museum,
but with the gradual opening of the museums it became clear once again how important and systemically relevant art and culture are for our society.
Nevertheless, the new opportunities of digitalization are an absolute gain for the museums and the public. The digital offers complement and deepen the visit to the museum in a unique and wonderful way.
With this in mind, today, after looking around the German and European museums in recent weeks for significant historical silver, we would like to present you with this newsletter some wonderful objects that are in the collections of American museums.
We wish you exciting reading and great discoveries.
We would of course be very happy if you also browse our website.
