The Invisible Voices of Literature – an exhibition about translation in Amberg
Those who love books understand: Without translators, there would be no global literary experience. This exhibition in Amberg places the art of translating at the center – with insights into work processes, estates, and the quiet, precise linguistic art that makes world literature accessible. Open Tuesday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, Sunday from 2 PM to 5 PM; duration until May 2026.
Linguistic Art in Focus: From the First Draft to the Publishable Voice
Subtle marginal notes, variations in word choice, rhythmic decisions: The atmosphere for reading arises here in silence. The exhibition shows how genre, style, and narrative are reborn in the target language – a school of literary quality for all who wish to listen and read more closely.
Workshop of Understanding: Marginalia, Letters, Contracts
Drafts, correction rounds, and correspondence make the author-encounter in the medium of language tangible. Visitors experience how translators balance sound, register, and cultural references to unite the original tone and readability.
Cultural Dialogue: Why Translation Connects Science and the Public
Drafts and estates from translators are sources for literary studies. They document aesthetic choices, publishing practices, and cultural discourse – a treasure that promotes hermeneutic precision and historical insight.
Visit & Atmosphere
The intimate exhibition setting invites focused reading. Short, curated stations guide through examples from novels, poetry, theater texts, and essays – concise, illustrative, without platitudes. A literary experience that sharpens the eye for detail.
Conclusion
Quiet hours of linguistic art are expected: precise examples, illustrative documents, a respectful view of the often-overlooked work behind great books. Experience translation as art – live in Amberg.
