Public guided tour of the special exhibition

Giving gifts is a universal language. A present can strengthen relationships—or challenge them. Rulers presented magnificent objects to display power. Diplomatic gifts were intended to secure peace or convey political messages. In many cultures, the saying went: whoever gives reveals who they are. Every gift carries a meaning—and often an expectation as well. To this day, diplomatic gifts play an important role in daily political affairs. This public guided tour aims to showcase political gifts presented to the City of Zwickau for the very first time, along with a selection from the property room of the Saxon State Chancellery in Dresden, highlighting another cultural-historical aspect of gift-giving.
