Caspar David Friedrich, Ruine Eldena im Riesengebirge, 1830/34

Caspar David Friedrich 2024

Retrospective

From the forecourt to the Museums road

250 Steps towards Caspar David Friedrich

March – December 2024

Inspired by Friedrich's hikes, from March 2024 onward the Pomeranian State Museum invites visitors to set out on their own "art journey on foot" independent of the individual art exhibition. Past several interactive stations that encourage creative engagement with Caspar David Friedrich and his period, a specially created route leads from the forecourt onto the Museums road. Even during the remodelling periods when no originals are on display, along this way, an installation of the legendary "blue flower", a treadmill for own walks and a time box concerning the year 1818 can be found. In addition a cabinet exhibition with digital collages by the artist Hiroyuki Masuyama will create a link to the present and place Friedrich's wanderings in contemporary contexts, starting July 2024.
