About this audio guide
This guide to Jürgen Goertz's bronze hare at the Tiergärtnertor in Nuremberg starts with a lucky habit that visitors repeat without knowing its origin. It reaches back to Albrecht Dürer's young hare of fifteen oh two and the long afterlife that picture has had in its home city. Stand close enough to walk all the way around the sculpture, because the details hidden at its feet matter.
