World of Languages – the Art of Translation as a Sensory Exhibition Experience

A literary experience of quiet intensity: The special exhibition 'World of Languages. Translating Literature' at the Literature Archive Sulzbach-Rosenberg opens the workshop of language art. Visitors encounter the silent grandeur of the translation craft and experience a special author encounter – through voices, manuscripts, and traces that bridge the boundaries of languages like continents.

Language Art to See and Hear

Between typescripts, corrections, word lists, and interviews, the poetics of translation unfolds. The reading atmosphere of an archive: muted, focused, with the aura of careful work on sentences. The exhibition illustrates how narratives gain new tonalities through translation and how literary quality emerges in the target text.

Context of the Literature Scene

The literature archive shows the role of publishers, editorial offices, and market mechanisms for decisions and selection. At the same time, the exhibition brings the profession of translators into the cultural discourse: translation as an aesthetic practice, as mediation between literatures, as critical reading.

Archives of Voices

With the legacies of outstanding translators, the house provides a rare glimpse into processes that otherwise remain hidden. Handwritten interventions, variants, deletions – here, language art becomes visible.

Your Visit

The special exhibition runs until the end of May 2026. Open Tuesday to Friday 9–5 PM, Sunday 2–5 PM (during ongoing special exhibitions). Admission to the exhibition: 3 € (reduced 2 €). Please check the current notices from the house.

Conclusion: Those who love literature experience the quiet dramaturgy of creation here. The exhibition invites exploration of language as art – concentrated, tangible, cleverly curated. Plan your visit now and experience it live.
