Open November 18, 2012 through February 9, 2014 at The New Mexico History Museum<\/a> in the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe, this exhibition gives visitors a unique view of one of the most iconic writers of the Wild West: Karl May.<\/p>\n

\n

The novels of German author Karl May served as trail guides to the mystique of the American West and even today are celebrated in European festivals and theme parks. His books have outsold those of Louis L\u2019Amour and Zane Grey combined and were beloved by the likes of Albert Einstein, Herman Hesse, Fritz Lang, and Franz Kafka.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a hitch: May never visited the West. Nevertheless, his faith in the land of cowboys and Indians nurtured an entire continent\u2019s love for it. From Nov. 18, 2012, to Feb. 9, 2014, the New Mexico History Museum\/Palace of the Governors celebrates May\u2019s life, legacy and lasting impact in an original exhibition, Tall Tales of the Wild West: The Stories of Karl May<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Curated by Tomas Jaehn, librarian for the Fray Ang\u00e9lico Ch\u00e1vez History Library at the New Mexico History Museum\/Palace of the Governors, this small, original exhibition in the Mezzanine Gallery includes first-edition and foreign-language versions of May\u2019s books, along with photographs illustrating his life. On loan from the Karl May Museum is Silberb\u00fcchse, Winnetou\u2019s name for his rifle. May (whose name rhymes, perhaps fittingly, with \u201clie\u201d) said he took the weapon from the Indian\u2019s grave in Wyoming for safekeeping. In fact, the rifle was manufactured in Radebeul as a nonworking prop. Its visit to the exhibition will mark the first time it has been seen in the land where it was purportedly made.<\/p>\n

Opening event and lecture series<\/strong><\/p>\n

At 2 pm on Sunday, Nov. 18, an opening reception for Tale Tales of the Wild West: The Stories of Karl May will feature a lecture by Hans Grunert, curator of the Karl May Museum in Radebeul, Germany, in the History Museum Auditorium. The Women\u2019s Board of the Museum of New Mexico will serve light refreshments at 3 pm in the lobby. Invited guests include Klaus-Jochen Guehlcke, Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Houston, Texas, and Stephan Helgesen, Honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany in Albuquerque, New Mexico.<\/p>\n

All of the exhibition\u2019s lectures are free with admission (Sundays free to NM residents and Friday evenings free to everyone). Each lecture is in the History Museum Auditorium:<\/p>\n
