Curated display case exhibitions in the Silcher Hall

​

In the Silcher Hall of the Stuttgart Antiquarian Book Fair, selected antiquarians and collectors will showcase their art of curation: In the curated display case exhibitions, rare books, manuscripts, prints, photographs, and paper antiques come together in a new way—thematically condensed, artfully arranged, and thoughtfully curated. Each display case tells its own story, offering insights into collections and worlds of thought and showing how passion, research, and aesthetics come together in the world of antiquarian books.
