Museum Heavenly Theater - Neuzelle Monastery
The Heavenly Theater Museum shows the most valuable monastery treasure: the Passion depictions of the Holy Sepulchre, which are unique in Europe. Like a monumental, baroque stage theater, the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is illustrated on huge canvases and wooden panels.
15 scenes in five stage sets captivatingly illustrate the biblical events. The Neuzell Passion Cycle is also a technical masterpiece - an artistic and spiritual treasure: heavenly theater!
The Neuzeller Passion depictions of the Holy Sepulcher were created around 1750 and are among the most important works of art from the Neuzelle Monastery's furnishings. The Neuzeller Passion depictions of the Holy Sepulcher are considered unique in Europe in terms of scope, size and artistic quality.
They have been on permanent display in the Himmlisches Theater Museum since March 2015. For the first time in over 150 years, the two scenes "Prayer on the Mount of Olives" and "Crowning of Jesus with Thorns" can be seen in full in public again after their restoration with their stage sets - an artistic and spiritual treasure.
