Sapientia aedificavit sibi domum ”Wisdom Has Built Herself a Home” The Teutonic state in Prussia.

Sapientia aedificavit sibi domum ”Wisdom Has Built Herself a Home” The Teutonic state in Prussia. is a temporary exhibition project for The Malbork Castle Museum, Poland.

An international show comprising several hundred exhibits was present the two dimensions of Teutonic rule in Prussia, ostensibly mutually opposed - the ideological and the practical - both contributing to the uniqueness of a state managed in its prime by several hundred brethren. The exhibition was held at the castle in Malbork, which - originally built as a conventual fortress - gradually evolved into the capital of a powerful state. Proper comprehension of the nature of Teutonic rule in Prussia is one of the keys to the consequent traps of the role and importance of this castle - turned - capital.
