Current Events in the Graphic Art Collection
Exhibitions
The Graphic Art Collection is an academic reference collection, and as such has no exhibition space of its own. In order to present its wealth of stock to the public, it regularly stages graphic art exhibitions on specific topics in one of the nuremberg municipal museums. So in winter 2004, the Graphic At Collection was a guest at Albrecht Dürer's House, presenting "Dürer's Wonderful Christmas" with graphic works by this famous Nuremberg citizen and other artists.
- The Graphic Art Collection: the pictorial memory of the City of Nuremberg.
