Exhibition
Charles the Bold (1433–1477)
was one of the wealthiest sovereigns of Europe. He wanted to be king and tried to this end to marry his daughter Mary to Maximilian, the emperor's son.
However, Charles the Bold was brought down by his overweening ambition. Defeated by the army of the Swiss Confederates at the battles of Grandson and Murten in 1476, he finally lost his life in the battle of Nancy in 1477.
Only now did his daughter Mary marry the emperor's son, Maximilian. The house of Burgundy was absorbed into the house of Habsburg, which grew into an empire spanning the globe «on which the sun never set».
The Exhibition
displays outstanding works of art exemplifying Burgundian court culture. It brings together a series of priceless objects lent by the world’s leading museums and libraries: the most exquisite creations of the goldsmith’s art, magnificent tapestries, luxurious fabrics and embroideries, precious illuminated books, panel paintings, parade armour, jewellery, medals, and much more.
Using up-to-date technology, the exhibition graphically retells the dramatic life of Charles the Bold.
Experience the heyday of late-medieval art, the pomp and glory of the age of chivalry, the splendour of court festivities, yet also the cruelty of war, Charles’s downfall and the rise of the House of Habsburg into a world power.

INKULULEKO, INKULULEKO
U JEHOVA WAKHO UZOKUNQOBELA
They say ev'rything can be replaced,
Yet ev'ry distance is not near.
So I remember ev'ry face
Of ev'ry man who put me here.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
They say ev'ry man needs protection,
They say ev'ry man must fall.
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
Standing next to me in this lonely crowd,
Is a man who swears he's not to blame.
All day long I hear him shout so loud,
Crying out that he was framed.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
