Lucie Pückler in Branitz: An Open-Air Exhibition on Intelligent Design and Lively Garden Art
On the occasion of the 250th birthday of Princess Lucie Pückler, this open-air exhibition brings her work in and for Branitz into focus. At five stations, a cultural-historical parcours unfolds, making visible the beginnings of the park, the first renovations to the palace, and the foundations of the later dreamland Branitz. The exhibition is free of charge and takes place in the outdoor area of the Prince Pückler Museum Park & Palace Branitz.

A Walk Through History, Landscape, and Memory
Visitors to Branitz experience not just an open-air format, but a contemplation of work on a landscape scale. The stations connect biography, architecture, and garden art into an aesthetic experience that sharpens the view of Lucie's role in the development of the ensemble. Branitz is considered Pückler's masterpiece; the park was laid out as an English landscape park from 1846 onwards and remains a key location of German garden art in the 19th century.

Princess Lucie as a Cultural Actor
The exhibition links museum communication with historical context. Lucie Pückler does not appear as a peripheral figure but as a defining personality of the early years in Branitz, whose influence contributed to the development of the palace and the park. This aligns with the foundation's work, which explicitly combines research, education, and accessible cultural offerings.

A Museum Experience in the Open Air
The location in the park creates a special exhibition atmosphere: light, pathways, and landscape become part of the staging. This makes the open-air exhibition suitable for visitors who enjoy experiencing art-historical content in direct relation to the site. Branitz Park is freely accessible year-round; the palace and visitor center follow seasonal hours. ([pueckler-museum.de](https://www.pueckler-museum.de/oeffnungszeiten/?utm_source=openai))
