The Monks Work

The museum's two sections on 'Folklore' and 'History' has a wealth of displays which charter the every day life of the people and the monks who lived here in Lorsch during the early centuries. I particularly liked the model of the village and the Four Gospels, a hand written book beautifully illustrated in painstaking detail by the devout monks from the Benedictine Abbey. The solid oak door with its ornate carvings - what a great work of art - to think way back in history every day items, we now take for granted, were all created by hand - exploring back through time here was a great learning experience
