Change and continuity, 15 years of urban renewal in Gransee

A large-scale renovation project in Gransee uncovered new insights into the town’s history. A converted Franciscan monastery enables visitors to explore this legacy by piecing together parts of a puzzle illustrating Gransee’s evolution via an exhibition and perceiving the town as a single entity. Each room in the monastery features back-lit graphic displays on a large puzzle-style block, integrated display cases and a number of likewise back-lit projections. A surround-sound audio collage describes the development of the medieval town and the construction of the monastery. At the same time, special lighting highlights notable architectural features of the building.
