Many artists and artisans, including painters, sculptors, jewellery designers and paper artists, live and work in Quedlinburg – inspired by the architecture, the town's cultural vibe and the influence of Lyonel Feininger. Their highly regarded works are exhibited in small, exclusive galleries and shops.Antiques, toys, arts and crafts in the Blasiistrasse
In among the antique shops, including those in the Blasiistrasse, is Saxony-Anhalt's largest art auction house, the long-established Kunsthaus Breitschuh, which regularly holds auctions. The Central German Railway and Toy Museum is just next door with a fantastic range for collectors in its store, while a potter sells his wares in another shop.Pedestrian zone in the town centre
Galleries and studios can also be found in the pedestrian zone between the market square and Castle Hill. Castle Hill is the setting for the workshops of jewellery designers, a glassblower and a paper artist creating works of art from paper. A felt producer makes snug, artistic garments made of felt and wool, while prints are on display in the Lyonel Feininger Gallery.
