kunstGarten links contemporary art and science with the natural and cultural space of the garden.
The “Archiv Hortopia: Kunst.Garten.Bibliothek” collection, the exhibitions and a diverse programme create a meeting place for communication and knowledge transfer.
Since 2019, kunstGarten has been showing works of contemporary art for all passers-by via a street gallery in order to bring art closer to people who are far removed from culture in the spirit of human rights.
The evening show garden of the “Archiv Hortopia” with installations of contemporary art amidst the autumn flora invites visitors to enjoy a sensual experience with plant scents and touch after dark. The evening lighting creates a fairytale atmosphere. The meta-level is located indoors: 4,500 garden books from five centuries invite you to browse.
The guided tour provides an overview of the art, garden and library, and garden questions are answered. In autumn, autumn asters, dahlias, monkshood, zinnias and garden chrysanthemums provide special colour accents. Indoors, the rich media sculpture Garden Library is available to anyone interested.
