A new experience of historical soundscapes
What sounds does the past have? What world of sound did our ancestors live in? The Museum Aargau addresses these and other questions under the theme "All ears!" and takes the public on a sonorous journey through time.
From April 10, visitors to the Legionary Trail will be acoustically guided into the world of the legionaries. From April 19, medieval sounds and tones can be heard on the forecourt of the Habsburg, emitted from the old walls by means of sophisticated installations. The public can also follow the ascent of the Habsburgs on the Habsburg Royal Route at six audio stations from the ruins to the top of the castle tower.
The silence in the choir of the monastery church in Königsfelden is accompanied by soft, delicate sounds. The sounds of the bell that called the nuns and monks to prayer in the Middle Ages echo in the cloister. The sound installation by artist Andreas Oldörp is one of the interventions used to create a sensory experience during the theme year.
The barge in the exhibition near the mill at Hallwyl Castle is acoustically set afloat. Another installation changes the words and sounds that visitors call into the prison into new, surprising shapes. Here you can experiment to your heart's content. These sound installations will be opened on April 19. Minnesang was a form of singing in the Middle Ages. What it sounded like can be heard in a concert with the Dragma ensemble on August 14.
