About this audio guide
This guide to the Hirsvogel Hall, in the garden of the Tucherschloss museum in Nuremberg, follows Lienhard Hirsvogel, a young merchant heir who in the fifteen-thirties commissioned a Renaissance festival hall as a gift for his bride from Augsburg. It brings in the sculptor Peter Flötner, Dürer's pupil Georg Pencz and the Greek myth painted across the ceiling. Best heard from the middle of the hall, where you can see the carved panels and the painting overhead.
