Lucie von Pückler Rediscovered: A Quest for Traces in Branitz
The special exhibition The Lady/s of the House. A Quest for Traces leads into the world of Princess Lucie von Pückler-Muskau and opens the view onto a female biography that significantly shaped the Branitz estate, the castle, and its cultural order. The exhibition combines art observation, historical research, and aesthetic experience into a concentrated art experience at the Fürst-Pückler-Museum Park & Schloss Branitz.

Image of Women and Society in the 19th Century
At the center is Lucie von Pückler-Muskau, who was described by contemporaries as an intelligent, agile, and strong-willed personality. The exhibition places her role within the cultural history of the 19th century and makes visible how strongly women contributed in the context of aristocratic lifestyles, representation, and museum history.

Objects, Letters, and Traces in the Castle
Displayed are those things that have remained on-site from Lucie: precious furniture, Asian art, and especially letters. This materiality lends the exhibition its special atmosphere, as the personal emerges here as a historical source. The later female inhabitants of the castle, including Louise Isabelle de Constant Rebecque, are also considered.

Branitz as Gesamtkunstwerk
According to the foundation, the museum is dedicated to the life and work of Hermann von Pückler-Muskau and Lucie von Pückler-Muskau; the collection includes paintings, sculptures, graphic works, archival and library holdings, as well as a photo archive. In Branitz, this collection merges with the historic castle ensemble and the landscape park into a culturally dense place where art, garden art, and representation intertwine.

Visit, Education, and Accessibility
Visiting the exhibition can be combined with a walk through the castle and park; for museum communication, the foundation refers to educational offerings and museum-pedagogical formats. At the same time, it is important: The Branitz castle is unfortunately not accessible for wheelchair users due to steps, but a wheelchair can be borrowed in the park.

Conclusion
This special exhibition opens an intelligent, sensual, and art-historically grounded view of Lucie von Pückler-Muskau and on the living environment of Branitz. Anyone wanting to experience historical figures not as marginal figures but as shaping forces of culture and space should definitely visit this exhibition live.
