Historical colored papers and creative paper art at the Schlossmuseum

The exhibition “COLORFUL! Paper – Paper tells stories” is dedicated to Aschaffenburg's history as a center of colored paper production. At the Schlossmuseum at Schlossplatz 4, historical as well as artistically designed papers are in focus.

Paper appears not only as an everyday material but also as a carrier of design, memory, and history. The works on display make visible how versatile paper can be used and artistically interpreted. Visitors get the opportunity to view different paper objects and designs in a museum environment.

Aschaffenburg and colored paper production

A special emphasis of the exhibition lies on the connection between the historical site and local paper history. Aschaffenburg is presented as a center of colored paper production. This highlights a part of the city's history that is closely linked to the manufacture and design of colorful papers.

The exhibition combines historical examples with artistically designed papers, providing insight into the development and significance of the material from various perspectives. The title “Paper tells stories” refers to the fact that each paper not only operates through its color and design but can also create connections to the past, craftsmanship, and art.
