Joy of Life and Fashion Fun at the Fürst Pückler Museum Branitz

Joy of Life, Fashion, and Memory at the Fürst Pückler Museum Branitz

With the special exhibition Joy of Life and Fashion Fun. Women Past and Present, the Fürst Pückler Museum Park & Castle Branitz opens a vibrant view of gender roles, fashion concepts, and aesthetic self-images between the past and present. The presentation features an intervention of contemporary art by students of the Carl-Blechen Elementary School Cottbus on the occasion of the 250th birthday of Princess Lucie of Pückler. It will be on display from July 20, 2026 to August 17, 2026 at the Kutscherhaus.

An Artistic Experience Between Historical Figure and Present

The exhibition combines artwork observation, cultural education, and aesthetic experience in a format that is deliberately accessible yet art-educationally precise. Children and young people display their perspectives on people they find lovable and valuable through drawings and fashion collages. Younger children paint their role models, while older ones relate Princess Lucie to historical and contemporary fashion as well as changing life concepts. This creates a direct access to art, identity, and social change.

Fashion as Visual Language, Biography as Resonance Space

The reference to Princess Lucie of Pückler gives the exhibition an art-historical depth. In Branitz, one encounters a personality whose world was closely connected to representation, taste, and a cultivated form of everyday life. The Castle Branitz itself provides a harmonious setting for dealing with fashion, gender roles, and life concepts with its carefully designed rooms and historic ambiance. The exhibition responds with a contemporary, fresh visual language that translates historical memory into the present.
