AUDIO GUIDE
For visitors to the Zürich exhibition there is a multi-voiced audio guide included in the price of admission. The guide was developed as a series of dialogues based on the records of the explorer Howard Carter by Werner Biermann. Biermann was responsible for the documentary on Charlemagne from the series Die Deutschen (The Germans) and for a documentary on Konrad Adenauer, among others. Speakers include Christian Schult, whose distinctive voice is known from countless TV documentaries, and the actress Mechthild Großmann, who has played the public prosecutor in the Münster setting of TATORT.
