Nuremberg developed into an international trading centre in the heart of Europe between 1300 and 1600. Economy, politics, art, and culture were closely intertwined. This catalogue traces the city’s expanding networks from the late Middle Ages to the Renaissance and critically reflects on Nuremberg’s role in an increasingly globalised world, shedding light on these lesser-known aspects of Nuremberg’s history and presents fascinating objects from international collections. The city’s success as an international hub of knowledge and an innovative industrial center enabled its cultural flourishing during the time of Albrecht Dürer. However, this prosperity was also built on the exploitation of resources, the booming arms trade, and early colonial activities.
