With their splendor and diversity flowers have always captivated us. They possess great symbolic power – whether in mythology, religion, art or politics. In earlier centuries, flowers were coveted status symbols, today they are traded globally as a mass product. Currently, the flower is coming into focus as a fragile yet indispensable component of our global eco-system. With objects from art, design, fashion and natural science, Flowers Forever offers a fascinating, elaborately staged tour through the cultural history of flowers from antiquity to the present day.

Jointly curated by Franziska Stöhr and Suzanne Landau, the presentation will comprise works from international collections as well as installations created especially for the exhibition. Important examples from the histories of art and design will enter into a fruitful dialog with new artistic approaches.
