On Monday, 2 March 2026, we are partnering with the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum to host an Ards Expert Meeting dedicated to the exhibition Praymobil. Medieval Artworks in Motion in Aachen.

The programme features lectures by Karolina Soppa (Hochschule der Künste Bern), Kamil Kopania (A. Zelwerowicz National Academy of Dramatic Art in Warsaw), and Michael Rief (Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum) on the subject of ‘moving’ sculptures. Rief will also give an introduction to the exhibition, followed by an exclusive after-hours visit.

If you have already registered, we kindly ask that you let us know as soon as possible if, at any point in the coming months, you realise you will no longer be able to attend. As this event is offered free of charge, we aim to avoid last-minute no-shows. Please note: if someone registers but does not attend without informing us in advance, we will unfortunately need to charge the cost of their unused catering (attendance remains free).
