The exhibition

Montage with details from the triptych from the Cloister of St. Clara in Cologne, 1480. Helene Leuzinger / Swiss National Museum

Nuns in the Middle Ages were far more than just celibate, ascetic women who only cared about the world inside their convent walls. The convent gave women opportunities that were otherwise hardly available to them: access to higher education, social security and the chance to break away from the conventions of their families. The exhibition shows with reference to diverse individuals what a wide range of life choices were open to religious Sisters in the Middle Ages.
