Schönebeck. His pictures were actually supposed to be packed away again after the bank holiday, but the special exhibition dedicated to the (almost) forgotten press illustrator and artist Armin Timler, 50 years after his death, is going down a treat, as museum director Petra Koch explains. Visitors to the Salzlandmuseum are very keen and take a keen interest in using the pictures from his estate to embark on a journey of the imagination to the Bördeland region and to Schönebeck, Barby and Calbe as they were in the recent past. “That’s why we’re extending this special exhibition until 14 November,” says the museum director. “We currently have two special exhibitions on display, which will run concurrently until then,” she adds, drawing attention to the travelling exhibition “Marked and Persecuted as Jews. Jewish Identities and Nazi Crime Sites in Saxony-Anhalt”. The latter forms part of this year’s Jewish Weeks in Schönebeck and concludes with them on 21 November.
So that’s two reasons – and more – to visit the Salzlandmuseum in Schönebeck these days. The museum is open four days a week, including, incidentally, on 3 October, which is a public holiday and perhaps a good time for a visit.
