Steppin' Back in Time: The Exhibition "Was Ludwig I Bavaria's Best Bloody King?"
King Ludwig I? Modern one day, old-school the next. His 23-year reign (1825-1848) was smack dab in the middle of a storm of social and economic political chaos. What made things even more strange is how his reign ended - not by death, but by his own dang resignation. Why, you ask? Rumor has it, it's all because of a brouhaha with a lady named Lola Montez, a dancer known for stirring up trouble. The Regensburg exhibit delves into the life of this Wittelsbacher king and poses the question: "Ludwig I - Bavaria's greatest king?"
This historical to-do is hittin' the Museum of Bavarian History from May 10 to November 9. The shindig coincides with the 200th anniversary of Ludwig I's coronation. On the official opening day, May 9, Minister-President Markus Söder (CSU) will flip the switch on this bad boy. But keep in mind, the museum will be closin' its doors for the big event.
According to the show's organizers, there'll be more than just flashy media installations. Au contraire, there'll be plenty of jaw-droppin' exhibits to feast your peepers on. One star attraction? A scruffy, moth-eaten housecoat that Ludwig I wore for over half a century. A few tassels still hang on, but patches disguise the wear and tear in heavily used spots, and the once vibrant color has faded to a sooty gray. The coat's currently on loan from the Historical Association of Upper Bavaria at the Munich City Museum.
Get ready to dive headfirst into life in Bavaria during Ludwig I's reign: customs and traditions, construction boom, politics, and industrialization, oh my! Monuments like the Ruhmeshalle Walhalla near Regensburg and the Befreiungshalle Kelheim were created under his rule.
Swing by from Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (yep, it's closed on Mondays, just like a bank).
