Museum Oberschönenfeld

Das Museum Oberschönenfeld befindet sich in den historischen Gebäuden der Zisterzienserinnenabtei Oberschönenfeld – etwa 15 km südwestlich von Augsburg. Die Ausstellungen präsentieren den Facettenreichtum Schwabens und seiner Menschen zwischen etwa 1800 und heute. Ergänzend zeigt die Schwäbische Galerie Werke zeitgenössischer Künstler mit Bezug zur Region. Die Dauerausstellung im Volkskundemuseum bietet spannende Einblicke in das ländliche Leben. Einzigartige Objekte und individuelle Biografien erzählen von Traditionen und Umbrüchen, die das Landleben und die Klosterwelt in Oberschönenfeld prägten. An zahlreichen Hörstationen kommen Zeitzeugen zu Wort und lassen so die Vergangenheit lebendig werden.

Gessertshausen is in Bayern, in the south, the country's industrial powerhouse around Munich and Stuttgart with the Alps and the Black Forest on the doorstep; winters bring snow and the occasional warm Föhn wind, summers are the warmest in Germany, and living costs are the highest. German addresses put the street name before the house number, followed by the five-digit postcode and the town, as in "Marienplatz 8, 80331 München". The map link on this page shows the exact spot.
