Faith turned into stone

Ecclesiastical architecture in the Banat in the 18th century

Rental exhibition with 20 displays

The Danube Swabian Central Museum and the cultural advisor for Southeast Europe designed and implemented an exhibition on the architecture of eighteenth-century church buildings in the Banat. The exhibition shows both the history of the origins of the sacred architecture of the Banat and the current situation of the monuments. For the first time, an overview of the topic is presented, which is one of the most important characteristics of the Banat cultural landscape. It is based on modern architectural photos that correspond to historical recordings as well as plan and map material.
