Exhibition in the Palace Coach House For the first time, the art-historically significant collection of Berlin ceremonial sleighs, carriages and palanquins belonging to the Prussian royal family, dating from the late 17th to the end of the 18th century, has been brought together in a single exhibition.

Originating from the Prussian Royal Stables, the carriages, sleighs and palanquins were on display at the Hohenzollern Museum in Monbijou Palace until 1942. Despite being moved to safety during the Second World War, they sustained damage – in some cases extensive – which is still visible today.
A number of court service and transport vehicles are also on display. The exhibition thus provides a wide-ranging overview of the artistic and technical aspects of carriage-making, the history of which is documented alongside that of the Prussian Royal Stables’ collections.
