From Fairy Tale Book to Linguistics

The tour opens up a view behind the familiar image of the Brothers Grimm. Alongside the Children’s and Household Tales, the monumental German Dictionary comes to the forefront – a key work in the history of language that makes their scientific approach visible. The exhibition connects originals, personal objects, and contemporary art to create a lively dialogue about research, collection, and interpretation.

Originals, Spaces, and Aesthetic Experience

Especially impressive is the atmosphere of the exhibition: The permanent exhibition leads from station to station, multimedia, interactive, and artistically staged. This creates an art experience that not only displays historical documents but makes them tangible in space. Those who visit the Grimm World encounter language as material, memory as form, and history as present. ([grimmwelt.de](https://www.grimmwelt.de/de/ausstellungen/grimmwelt?utm_source=openai))

Over 1,400 correspondents, a wide-ranging network, and the scientific precision of their collection work make it clear why the GRIMMWELT is much more than a fairy tale museum: It is a place of cultural education and art-historical contextualization.
