In about fifteen panels, the exhibition traces the origins of the Anabaptist movement and the creation of the Amish group by Jacob Amann in 1693 in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines.
She then focuses on the departure of the Amish in the United States, and the evolution of their way of life. The exhibition is enhanced by the presentation of original documents and traditional amish quilts.
