Reflected Glory:
the Romanovs, Württemberg and Europe

5 October 2013 – 23 March 2014

Five marriages, four generations, one story
At Stuttgart’s Old Castle, an imposing structure steeped in history, a special exhibition entitled “Reflected Glory: the Romanovs, Württemberg and Europe” tells the story of five legendary women whose marriages formed the basis of the extraordinary history shared by the House of Württemberg and the Russian Romanov dynasty. For the first time, an exhibition sheds light on the impact of these marriages on European politics, on the domestic and social policies of the two countries as well as on their respective courts.
