"Chess & Porcelain. The world on 64 squares".
16 March to 13 October 2024 Special exhibition at the
Porzellanikon Hohenberg a.d. Eger
Historical, political, exotic, mythical, animal, but also erotic and curious - all of this can be found on porcelain as well as on the chessboard. The "white gold" and the royal game have a lot in common. Both tell stories that move the world. Around one hundred historical and contemporary chess sets and chess pieces made of porcelain bring these stories to life.
Organised by theme
Divided into seven themed worlds, Porzellanikon is showing 28 complete chess sets, 34 sets of figures and 43 individual figures for the first time. Objects from 12 countries are on display, from Germany to Russia, Italy, Great Britain, Chi-na and Japan.
For the first time in Germany
Thanks to Dr Thomas H. Thomsen, the long-standing president of "Chess Col-lectors International", a worldwide association of collectors and experts of artis-tic chess pieces and boards, we have succeeded in organising an exhibition with such a large variety and number of porcelain chess pieces and games for the first time in Germany.
For beginners and professionals
Experience the fascinating, diverse and artistically perfect combination of chess and porcelain for the first time anywhere in Germany. Whether you are a begin-ner or a professional, you can also become active yourself: Let yourself be whisked away into the exciting world of chess.
