EVENT LANGUAGE: GERMAN – EVENT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE BLIND OR VISUALLY IMPAIRED

The sculptor Franz Xaver Messerschmidt created the so-called “character heads” in his late work. The artist was fascinated by both the realistic facial expressions and the exaggerated grimace. The tactile model on the scale of the original sculpture invites blind, visually impaired and sighted visitors to touch it.

In this inclusive tour, we get closer to the Second Beakhead than ever before.

Registration required: Online at the Belvedere program calendar or per email: public@belvedere.at

Meeting point: Entry Hall of the Oberes Belvedere (also called Sala terrena)
