When Children's Art Meets Cultural History

The exhibition shows how young visitors approach a historical figure: through drawing, painting, and fashion collage. It is precisely this connection of aesthetic experience and cultural education that makes the format appealing. The works of the 1st to 6th grades open a fresh perspective on role models, stereotypes, and self-images between the past and the present.

Princess Lucie as an Inspiration

The occasion is clearly rooted in art history and biography. Princess Lucie von Pückler shaped the cultural life in Branitz, and the exhibition translates this memory into a modern visual language. Thus, it creates a lively consideration of works where historical fashion and contemporary ideas enter into dialogue. ([pueckler-museum.de](https://www.pueckler-museum.de/fuerst-hermann-pueckler/))
