An Exhibition Tour between Park Concept and Cultural History

The presentation unfolds its effects outdoors: light, path guidance, and sight lines become part of the artwork's perception. Those who embark on the tour experience Branitz not only as a garden artwork but as a historically evolved total artwork shaped by Prince and Princess Pückler. The foundation describes Branitz as a place for exploration, development, and presentation of garden and landscape design, architecture, interior furnishings, and museum collections.

Lucie Pückler as a Clever Designer of the Branitz Dream

The exhibition starts with the early years of the park and directs attention to the phase in which the foundations for the later dreamland of Branitz were established. In the anniversary year, Princess Lucie Pückler herself is the focal historical figure: as host, designer, and influential personality of the Branitz cultural space. This connects biographical memory with art historical classification and cultural education.
