The night – brushing teeth, going to the bathroom, and off to bed.

Special Exhibition until May 3, 2026 Darkness and Bedtime – what comes to mind first when you think of the night? Discover what can happen between "going to bed" in the evening and the alarm ringing in the morning, and embark on a journey through the dark night hours of the past and present in the exhibition: How did people prepare for sleep in past centuries? What rituals, from "keeping a diary" to "bedtime stories," from putting on a nightcap to choosing a nightgown, were essential? Who watched over children in their dreams, and what has "robbed" many tired men and women of their sleep? From the chamber pot to the nightcap, from the alarm clock to the family bed – take a look into "foreign" bedrooms and learn how our nights have changed over the last centuries.
