Forthcoming Exhibitions
Women – The variety of their lives in the Middle Ages
Summer Exhibition in the Baroque Hall of the Abbey Library of St Gall
21 April to 8 November 2026
Female rulers and maidservants, abbesses and mothers, rebels and saints: the summer exhibition at the Abbey Library of St Gall showcases the variety of women’s lives in the Middle Ages. It tells of ascetic anchoresses, well-read nuns and hard-working servants, as well as of women’s health, their social roles, and resistance in times of change.
