The Institut Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt is celebrating the reopening of the extensively renovated exhibition building with a multifaceted special exhibition on the art topography of Darmstadt. Outstanding paintings, sculptures, graphics, photographs and video art from the Darmstadt Municipal Art Collection shed light on historical events in the city and present extraordinary people who have lived and worked here. A focus is placed on some works by female artists that have never been exhibited before and are waiting to be discovered.

The exhibition tour develops into a journey through 200 years of the art city of Darmstadt and its immediate region. A varied accompanying programme invites visitors to explore the city and its art with new eyes.
