Current Exhibitions

200 years ago, the Ernestine duchies were reorganised, giving rise to the double duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Under the title “Coburg | Gotha | 1826”, an exhibition taking place at various venues in Gotha and Coburg in 2026 will mark the dynasty’s anniversary: Whereas in Coburg the focus is on Duke Ernst I of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1784–1844), Gotha traces his networks at court. Who were the people who worked alongside the Duke and shaped the administration and (re)organisation of the collections in the wake of the dynastic change? The anniversary exhibition documents this period of upheaval through letters of homage on silk and paper; it tells the story of the collection through exhibits in silver filigree, majolica, shells and minerals, as well as on paper. It documents the discontinuities in the collections, but also – and particularly – their continuity. A varied supporting programme accompanies the exhibition.
