Hausaltar

20th century | Christian Schicklgruber

Just as we have seen around the hearth, objects from various regions are positioned next to each other at the home shrine. Nevertheless, this shrine and the way it is arranged might still be found as such in a single household. Here at the museum, the shrine demonstrates how regular offerings are made to the gods and which ritual objects are kept at the home shrine. We have created a place where a priest could actually perform a ritual.
