EXHIBITION SCHLOSS HERRENCHIEMSEE – „KOENNT IHR NOCH? KUNST UND DEMOKRATIE“
A late but heartfelt post about a thought provoking exhibition we visited in summer 2025 in Schloss Herrenchiemsee in Bavaria: „Koennt Ihr noch? Kunst und Demokratie“ touched our strong interests for art as well as politics, featuring some landmark German and international artists to debate the core pillars of democracy. The show was also a unique opportunity to see the unfinished inner parts of the castle.
