HIERONYMUS LORM - THE EXHIBITION

Hieronymus Lorm, original name Heinrich Landesmann, was an Austrian deaf-blind poet, philosopher and militant journalist, coming from a Jewish family from Mikulov. At the age of 15 he lost his hearing, and gradually his sight. Nevertheless, from the age of twenty he was still interested in what was happening around him, and created a tactile language, the so-called Lorm alphabet, which is still used internationally today. The exhibition will guide you through his life and work.
