At the Prince Pückler Museum Park & Castle Branitz, a special exhibition opens, focusing on Lucie von Pückler-Muskau as a defining figure of the house.

An Art Experience in the Total Work of Art Branitz

Branitz is considered a landscape art of significance: The park unfolds over 620 hectares as a compositional sequence of outer park, inner park, pleasure ground, and castle. The exhibition integrates into this ensemble and enhances the aesthetic experience between architecture, garden art, and museum curation.

Lucie von Pückler: Biography, Education, and Influence

The exhibition places a woman at its center, whose education, status, and range of action shaped the cultural life of Branitz. Contemporary voices described Lucie as intelligent, sensitive, and skilled in negotiation; the exhibition links these narratives with object-based memory and cultural historical research.

Letters, Furniture, Asiatic Art: The Silent Language of Objects

The proximity to the preserved objects is particularly impressive. Furniture, Asian artworks, and letters provide insights into the residential culture, representation, and personal networks of the 19th century. This creates an analysis of historical items as carriers of biography and atmosphere.
