The Treasure of Munster
Precious Reliquaries and Works of Art of the Domkammer
edited by Udo Grote
With its outstanding treasures of precious goldsmith work and textile art, the Domkammer in Munster possesses one of the most important collections in Europe. Like a golden showcase wall, the high altar of the cathedral presented sculptures and reliquaries of the very greatest value that astonish the beholder even today. The treasures cover a range of almost a thousand years, up to the twentieth century. The focus is, however, on reliquaries from the Middle Ages, a treasure of sculptures and vessels unequalled anywhere in the world. Speaking reliquaries, precious crucifixes and impressive textiles illuminate to this day the uniqueness of religious life in the last thousand years.
