Stranger Than Paradise

To mark this occasion, we are opening the open art museum on this day with free admission.

At the center of the Stranger Than Paradise exhibition is the monumental picture collage carpet that thrilled the audience at the Olma. Many of the carpet’s motifs are works from the museum’s collection, depicting paradisiacal scenes and transfigured idylls. The exhibition also shows pictures of the carpet in the original and complements them thematically with further works. In the cabinet, Thessy Schoenholzer shows Nichols Hortus conclusus – miniature textile gardens.
