Martin Luther: Art and Reformation

Five hundred years ago, one man took a stand that shook Europe and changed the world. Now you can see the story of Martin Luther and the Reformation brought to life through astonishing artworks and historical objects, traveling outside Germany for the first time ever. Luther used art and the newly invented printing press to challenge Europe’s leaders and spread a revolution of religious, cultural, and societal change. This exhibition includes paintings, sculpture, gold, textiles, and works on paper—as well as Luther’s personal possessions and recent archaeological finds—that shed new light on an explosive era and the man who ignited it.

This exhibit is normally $20 ($16 for members) but members can see it for FREE on the following days October 29 (Member Preview Day); November 8, 13, 17; December 6, 11, 15; January 8, 10.
