Romy Schneider was one of the most important German actresses, whose image is deeply ingrained in the collective memory. Having shot to fame as Sissi in the eponymous romantic biopic about Elisabeth, Empress Consort of Austria, she established herself as a star of French cinema in the 1970s.
The exhibition, organized by the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany, pays homage to the film star and to the private individual and seeks to trace her career from her early roles, her professional emancipation, her private tragedy and her deeply passionate nature to her untimely death.
Images taken from her films, the press and her private life are juxtaposed with film clips. These are complemented with media installations, film posters, costumes, letters, fan articles and numerous photographs of Romy Schneider, her film partners and her family.
Date: until June 24.
Location: Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany. Museumsmeile Bonn Friedrich-Ebert-Allee 4. 53113 Bonn. Germany.
