Female history as cultural discovery

At the center is the woman who was described by contemporaries as a connection of intelligence and feeling. The exhibition tells her life story and shows what has remained of her in Branitz: furniture, Asian art, and letters. This creates an access that not only makes the person Lucie visible but also the social and aesthetic world of the 19th century.

Schloss Branitz as a space of memory

The castle itself enhances the impact of the presentation. As a historical site with princely rooms, the Carl Blechen collection of the city of Cottbus, and the close connection of architecture, landscape, and collection culture, Branitz offers a multifaceted exhibition atmosphere. The staging opens the view to a Gesamtkunstwerk, in which residential culture, art history, and landscape architecture interweave.

Curating with educational value

For art-interested visitors, the special exhibition unfolds a special museum educational appeal. It makes historical role models readable, categorizes familial and societal constellations, and imparts cultural education through objects, letters, and spaces. It is precisely this connection of source work and sensual work observation that gives the visit depth and authenticity.

Branitz as a place of landscape, collection, and history

The Fürst Pückler Museum Park & Schloss Branitz is not only a museum but also a place of park art and historical collection. The facility is one of the most important testimonies of German landscape design and offers a dense cultural ensemble with a visitor center, castle, and park. Therefore, the exhibition visit provides a harmonious interplay between interior space, exterior space, and historical narrative.
