Overview

Intro

The lantern exhibition on Münsterplatz features over 200 artistically designed lanterns and is open to the public from Monday evening through Wednesday morning.

We call it the most beautiful open-air museum in the world: the lantern exhibition on Münsterplatz. On display are over 200 works of art in which the lantern artists satirize and caricature the subjects and accompany them with verses. They are open to the public from Monday evening through Wednesday morning. The badge serves as your admission ticket, so wearing it is a matter of honor.
