Lucie von Pückler in the center

The exhibition follows the traces of a remarkable personality, who is described in contemporary voices as educated, witty, and spirited. The focus is on the preserved furniture, Asian art, and numerous letters that narrate daily life, representation, and private relationships. This mixture of object culture and written sources creates a dense exhibition atmosphere in which history becomes immediately tangible. The view on Lucie simultaneously opens a new access to the culture of the 19th century and the role of women in aristocratic life worlds.

Space, memory, and museum narrative

Branitz Castle is not only a historical place but a total work of art composed of architecture, park, and collection. The special exhibition integrates into this museum landscape and uses the special spatial effect of the house to make objects visible as carriers of memory. Whoever engages with the exhibition does not only experience exhibits, but an aesthetic experience between interior, history, and present. The perspective on ladies who lived in the castle after Lucie also broadens the cultural-historical horizon of the exhibition.
