The Art and Natural History Chamber is considered the oldest German museum room. It was established by August Hermann Francke for educational purposes and is now once again set up according to the original museum concept of the 18th century in its historical location in the attic of the Historical Orphanage.

Eighteen richly decorated collection cabinets house approximately 3000 natural specimens, curiosities, and artifacts. They provide a unique impression of a Baroque cabinet of curiosities. Unlike modern museums, the chamber follows an encyclopedic collecting approach. A distinction is made between natural specimens and artifacts. The natural specimens are divided into rocks, plants, and animals, while the artifacts are categorized into visual arts, calligraphy, coins, everyday culture, and clothing. The goal was to create a mirror image of the world: a microcosm that made the macrocosm as the wonderful creation of God tangible.

In a series of events, art projects take place around the Art and Natural History Chamber. In the so-called "Contemporary Reflections on the Art and Natural History Chamber," foundations invite artists to engage in an artistic dialogue with the chamber.

The Icelandic church is in a crisis: Its supply of communion wine is running low due to "high demand"! A surprising twist, as this wine tastes as if it is blessed with a power that repels believers rather than attracts them. In a bold move, the Bishop of Iceland sends a quartet of unsuspecting priests to Rioja in search of a divine elixir worthy of the fine palate of the congregation – or at least something that tastes good and doesn't resemble varnish remover as it has so far. These sacred sommeliers take their mission very seriously, pursuing their holy duty with an enthusiasm usually reserved for miracle healers. Unfortunately, they are so fascinated by the Spanish vineyards that they overlook the small miracles around them – like the second coming of Christ...
„Divine Remedy | Gudaveigar“ is a delightfully refreshing comedy from Iceland: With a lot of feeling and a healthy dose of humor, the Markell brothers send their protagonists on quite an adventurous spiritual quest.

Inmate Billy Skinner returns to his old neighborhood in St. John’s, Newfoundland, after his release from prison. There, he must realize that the once respectable residential area has changed drastically during his absence and is now dominated by crime and drug trafficking. The area has also become a new home for numerous refugees from Syria. Desperately, Billy tries to pick up the threads of his former life and reconnect with his son. In the process, he befriends – much to the suspicion of his neighbors – the Syrian taxi driver Mohamed, who wants to realize his family's dream of a new, better life and his own dream of opening a "Barber Shop."
In intense black-and-white images, "Skeet" tells the story of two men trying to cope with their past and find their way in a changed community.

The courtly life in Athens is bleak and at times a torment for the noble children. Fathers condemn their daughters to death because they refuse to marry the suitor chosen for them. But fortunately, there is the forest, into which the young people can escape during the short summer nights. There reigns the quarreling fairy king and queen, Titania and Oberon. In the enchanted forest, the strict court rules are suspended. Here, everyone falls in love with anyone, while a few trees away, a group of craftsmen eagerly rehearses for a theater performance. The puppet master of this fantastic spectacle is Puck, Oberon's jester. He takes great delight in causing a unique confusion among the lovers Hermia, Lysander, Helena, and Demetrius with the juice of the magical flower. But he does not only play pranks on them; he also tricks the group of craftsmen, who are struggling to make progress with their art. Not even the fairy queen Titania is spared from Puck's mischief. He drips the potion into her eye, which makes her fall in love with the next creature she sees. It is the craftsman Bottom... Shakespeare's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM charmingly plays with the wishes and longings for love. The orderly daytime world in the castle contrasts with the erotic tumult in the nocturnal forest. Look forward to a summer night under the open sky.

Sicily in the 1960s. Lia is 21 years old, beautiful, headstrong and reserved, but also confident. She prefers working in the fields with her father rather than helping her mother at home. Lorenzo, the son of the mafia tycoon in the village, is fascinated by her. However, after an initial flirtation, she dares to reject him. In response, he resorts to brutal violence. According to tradition, she must now marry him, as a "compensatory marriage" would save her "honor." But Lia does what no one would expect: she reports Lorenzo as a rapist and embarks on a personal and legal struggle for her self-determination. Director Marta Savina tells the story in her feature film debut of a brave young woman who is ahead of her time. "Primadonna – Das Mädchen von morgen" is a gripping film that tells a story for the present through Lia's fight against patriarchal moral standards. The film is based on a true event that caused a huge stir in Italy at the time and was awarded the Audience Award at the Cinema Italia film tour 2024.

Palace-like, the orphanage rises on Franckeplatz. Then as now, it is the centerpiece of the Francke Foundations. Erected in 1698 as the first building of the school city, it represents a new facet of European Baroque, combining confident representation without extravagant ornamentation and setting the tone for orphanage architecture.

Today, the orphanage is our museum and cultural center. Right from the start, two permanent exhibitions guide you through the history of the foundation and the global impact of Pietism. On the first floor, the former prayer and singing hall surprises with its bright architecture. Today, it enjoys an excellent reputation as a concert hall due to its fantastic acoustics. In the adjacent conference rooms, a photo exhibition showcases the impressive renovation work since the foundations were reestablished in 1991. The second floor is reserved for our changing special exhibitions, which provide insight into important themes of the foundation's history from both a historical and contemporary perspective. Passing through the art and natural history collections in the attic, you reach the balcony via a narrow wooden staircase. Here, a wide view opens up over the impressive ensemble with school buildings from three centuries. There is also a splendid panorama of the Old Town of Halle from here. In the basement, children can explore their own paths in the Krokoseum.

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

What power does the word have? For Halleschen Pietismus, the word was of central importance. On the ground floor of the Historical Orphanage, we show you how August Hermann Francke's reform movement could spread around the world.

Francke developed central reformative goals of Martin Luther's with Halleschen Pietismus. His approach was as clear as it was revolutionary: Every person should find God through their own Bible reading. However, for this to happen, everyone - boys and girls alike - had to learn to read, everyone should be able to afford their own Bible and it should be printed in their own native language. Therefore, Francke established schools for all social classes, printed millions of German-language People's Bibles, and created an international network through which the Bible was translated into many other languages. His educational initiative allowed a broad population to engage with the word. In the 18th-century evangelical parsonages, the authors of the Romantic and Enlightenment periods were highly regarded. A culture of self-reflection spread in Pietism, which was reflected in diaries and personal testimonies, giving us remarkable insights into the spiritual life of people of that time. Symbolically, the power of the word is also evident in the meticulously restored pulpit from the Church of St. Ulrich in Halle, where Francke preached from 1715 and which you can admire in the exhibition.

10:00 am - 5:00 pm

The lawyer Frances Ward has a mission: off the west coast of Canada, she wants to establish one of the first seaweed farms. She is ready to give up everything she has built in her previous life – even though she has little experience with marine algae. For her plan to have any chance at all, she relies on the help of experts from practice, business, and science who know the astonishing potential of this wondrous organism. However, farming in the wild Pacific presents many challenges, and there is a long way to go until the first harvest. As Frances pursues her goal step by step, she realizes how the algae can not only change our planet but also herself... The documentary "Send Kelp!" accompanies the dedicated protagonist Frances on her adventure: with impressive underwater footage, the film holds some surprises and shows how seaweed can become a game-changer for our world.
