Rediscovering Lucie von Pückler: A Search for Traces in Branitz

The special exhibition “The Lady(s) of the House. A Search for Traces” at the Prince Pückler Museum Park & Castle Branitz focuses on the life of Princess Lucie von Pückler-Muskau starting on July 17, 2026. The exhibition follows the traces of a woman whose personality was described by contemporaries as intelligent, sensitive, and politically astute. In the historical ambiance of Branitz Castle, an art experience unfolds, intertwining biography, letter culture, and courtly spatial impact.

A Castle as a Think Space for Women's History

Branitz is not a neutral exhibition space, but a developed total work of art made up of landscape, architecture, and collections. This is where the exhibition begins: it tells the story of the princess and showcases objects that have remained on site, including furniture, Asian artifacts, and above all, letters. This creates an aesthetic experience in which personal handwriting and historical representation intertwine.

Letters, Furniture, Asian Artifacts: The Materiality of an Era

Particularly impressive is the connection between objects and documentation. The exhibition makes visible how a female world of life in the 19th century condenses into things, spaces, and written testimonies. Those interested in cultural history, museum education, and the role of noble women in the 19th century will find here a precisely curated search for traces with art historical depth.

Branitz as a Place of Cultural Education

The Prince Pückler Museum Park & Castle Branitz operates with the aim of researching, communicating, and keeping alive the cultural heritage of Pückler, Lucie, and the Branitz total work of art. This is also reflected in tours, educational offerings, and the extensive museum infrastructure on site. Therefore, for visitors, it is not just an exhibition visit, but an expanded art experience between garden art, castle history, and collection culture.
