In the special presentation Mystical Marriage in the Kunstkammer of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, visitors can experience pieces of jewelry by jewelry artist Anna Heindl in a productive dialogue with the work of the Master of Heiligenkreuz.

The diptych The Marriage of St Catherine (around 1400) by the so-called Master of Heiligenkreuz served as a crucial source of inspiration for Anna Heindl's (born 1950) latest creations. In an intensive artistic and research process, Heindl explored the works of the Master. The resulting series of sculptural jewelry is now on display at the Kunstkammer. Sculptor Manfred Wakolbinger's exhibition design creates a sculptural ‘stage’ for Heindl's artworks. The special presentation is complemented by works from Heindl's earlier thematic areas.

The exciting interplay between contemporary jewellery design and the Gothic sacred painting is a first for the Kunsthistorisches Museum in this form.
