In the organizer's words:

On January 6, Christians celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany, commemorating the visit of the Magi to the newborn baby Jesus as recorded in the Bible. The tradition of carol singing, in which the "singers" dressed as the biblical kings collect money for charitable causes, has been around since the 16th century, especially among Catholics. The carol singing campaign, which has been held in Germany since 1959, is the largest organized aid campaign by children for children in the world.

On the occasion of Epiphany, the Municipal Museum in the Haus am Löwenwall is showing a newly acquired painting by the Brunswick painter Rudolf Koch (1902-1985) from 1969, in which three young carol singers can be seen in a winter landscape.

During the tour, the tradition of carol singing is explained, the artist is introduced and the painting is also explained from an art-technological point of view.

After the short, approx. 20-minute tour, participants are invited to enjoy a drink and a piece of cake in the cafeteria.

The guided tour, coffee and cake are included in the admission price.
