Special exhibition at the Bad Pyrmont Castle Museum<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

At first I was a little in doubt: How would my exhibits be shown to their best advantage in the colorful, classicist halls, against the backdrop of the very colorful textile wallpaper?<\/p>\n\n

The doubts were absolutely unfounded. On the contrary – I could hardly wish for a better frame for my most fragile works. <\/p>\n\n

In this setting, the question of the value and importance of my compositions comes to the fore as if by itself and quite vividly. <\/p>\n\n

The spacious rooms of the castle provided an absolutely appropriate setting for my (UN) scientific collections.<\/p>\n\n

Glitz and glamor for the most banal fragments<\/h3>\n\n

The insect collections and habitats for the strangest bird species were explored by around 4500 interested visitors.<\/p>\n\n

I thoroughly enjoyed the many inspiring conversations with countless enthusiastic visitors. Thanks to the support of the Museum Association at Pyrmont Castle (Museumsverein im Schloss Pyrmont e.V.)<\/a> and the Stadtsparkasse Bad Pyrmont<\/a>, interested guests were able to explore the extensive exhibition at their leisure and discover all its facets. <\/p>\n\n

Picked up in quite ordinary places and brought to new life in my works: the smallest treasures of our everyday life shone with dignified splendor on the Beletage of the moated castle.<\/p>\n\n

Scuffed porcelain shards next to princely collector’s cups, crumpled candy wrappers next to chubby-cheeked cherub angels – the happy fusion!<\/p>\n\n

\"Guided
I was able to accompany several very interested school classes through the exhibition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

During the activities with the children in grades 1 through 5, surprising new insect species were discovered once again<\/p>\n\n

\"Museum
All the children, with no exceptions, did a fantastic job of realizing their own discoveries<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

During the numerous guided tours and activities with schoolchildren from Bad Pyrmont and the surrounding area, we were able to discover it together: What we consider valuable is valuable. The smallest and most banal things can provide surprising impulses if we are prepared to look at them with new appreciation. What is really important in life, our own heart can tell us most certainly. <\/p>\n\n

I really enjoyed personally leading the well-attended tours<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

The enthusiastic conversations, questions, and opinions were enriching. The walk-in cocoon found its place here for the first time\u2014a popular selfie spot. <\/p>\n\n

For me, Romanticism 2.0 is the inseparability of knowledge and emotion. <\/h3>\n\n

You can find my manifesto on this topic here in my catalog *Romantik 2.0<\/a> *. To discover new perspectives, we can look at everything anew\u2014with a fresh appreciation. That\u2019s why transformation was also a key theme of this exhibition. Anyone who was ready could experience their own metamorphosis inside the walk-in cocoon. And the questions surrounding growth, transformation, and change have also inspired me to take new steps and embark on new projects. <\/p>\n\n
