This guide to Museum Haus Cajeth in Heidelberg follows Egon Hassbecker, a bookseller and gallerist from Eberbach, and his partner Barbara Schulz on the day they were first shown this baroque house in Heidelberg's Old Town. It touches on the eviction that pushed them here, the mint official who had the house built in the eighteenth century, and the self-taught farmers, fishermen and craftsmen whose paintings now hang on its walls. Best heard standing in the ground-floor rooms.
