The curator's tour „War Booty and Souvenirs from the War 1870-71“ invites you to take a closer look at historical souvenirs from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. The event takes place on November 12, 2026, at the Bavarian Army Museum in Ingolstadt.
The focus is on war booty and souvenirs associated with the war of 1870/71. Such objects refer not only to military events but also to the way people perceived, remembered, and passed on war. The relevant pieces will be presented as part of the exhibition „War and Peace“.
Historical Objects in Context
A guided tour with curator support provides a targeted access to the exhibits. It draws attention to the importance of items that originate from a war or were kept as souvenirs of it. The connection between the object, historical event, and memory culture is the central focus.
The Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 forms the contemporary historical framework of the event. The tour makes this chapter of history comprehensible through war booty and souvenirs and situates the objects within the exhibition theme „War and Peace“.
