Book to accompany the exhibition

The book accompanying the exhibition “Art of the Celts” offers for the first time in the German language a survey of Celtic art from its origins to its decline. Transformations in political history, in cultural models and in the tone-setting upper class are dramatically reflected in Celtic artistic creation stretching over a millennium.

Leading experts in the field present the most important Celtic works of art in forty easy-to-understand contributions. Numerous large-format illustrations accompany the texts.
