Location

Chemnitz, Museum Gunzenhauser

entrance free

Exotic houseplants and cacti in particular enjoyed great popularity during the New Objectivity period. Plants were seen as a chic home accessory and became affordable for the general public. The enthusiasm for green oases in the home remains unbroken to this day.

Plant lovers and hobby gardeners get their money's worth here. Together with BUND Chemnitz, we are organising a plant exchange in and around the museum. Bring your cuttings and favourite plants to swap. And explore the exhibition and the houseplants of the 1920s. Guided tours, creative activities with cactus memory and folding succulents.

European Realities

The exhibition project European Realities at the Gunzenhauser Museum includes positions from various European countries, in particular from Northern, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. The diverse realist movements that were visible almost everywhere in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s are shown on an up to now unique scale. The exhibition tells of hunger and misery, of the modernisation of industry, reports on the economic upswing and cultural prosperity, of technical progress, the big city and nightlife, emancipation and diversity. The exhibition is part of the main programme of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025.
