At the Fürst Pückler Museum Park & Schloss Branitz, the special exhibition The Lady/s of the House. A Trace Search offers a glimpse into Lucie von Pückler-Muskau and the women who shaped life in the castle. The exhibition combines art historical research with biographical relevance and shows how history condenses in furniture, Asian artifacts, letters, and personal traces.

Lucie von Pückler between intelligence, attitude, and representation

Lucie von Pückler is described in the sources as a clever, assertive, and culturally shaping personality. The exhibition picks up this historical perspective and places her impact within the history of the House of Branitz. It does not create a rigid biographical image, but rather a multi-faceted portrait of a woman who not only accompanied the 19th century but also shaped it.

Furniture, letters, and Asian artifacts as art historical testimonies

At the center are objects that create both proximity and distance: elegant furniture, selected Asian artifacts, and especially letters as carriers of language, relationships, and social position. This materiality makes the exhibition appealing for visitors interested in the history of collections, living culture, and the aesthetics of aristocratic spaces. The staging in the castle enhances the effect of the objects and creates a concentrated exhibition atmosphere.
