    The Graphic Art Collection of the Tyrolean State Museums has the world's largest collection of Tyrolean Baroque drawings. As part of the "Ferdinandeum on the move" programme, these Baroque gems - for example by Paul Troger or Simon Benedikt Faistenberger - are on display in the Innsbruck City Archive/City Museum.

    The drawings were purpose-designed working sketches for the preparation of complex projects, such as ceiling frescoes, altarpieces or stage sets. Today they are regarded as high-calibre masterpieces.

    The art scene in Tyrol in the first half of the 17th century was dominated by immigrant artists, such as Paul Honegger from Swabia. The second half of the 17th century was dominated by three Tyrolean families of artists, namely the Schor, Gumpp and Waldmann families. The Baroque period marked the attempt to understand the world as a stable whole. The title "World Unfolding" refers to the fold, a central stylistic element of the Baroque period. Folds make visible how reality reveals itself to us: diverse, nothing is finally decided, everything is in flux - art for today.

    The show is dedicated to these works of art full of folds and also dares to take a look at the mountain world, in whose folds the baroque interplay of forces of concealment and revelation continues.
