To mark the 200th anniversary of the death of the Prussian Queen Luise (1776-1810) the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation is staging three major exhibitions:
in Charlottenburg Palace, on Berlin’s Peacock Island and in rural Paretz visitors can encounter the beautiful and powerful “Miss Prussia” at authentic locations in her life – in her residences, gardens and in her Mausoleum.
More than 200 paintings, sculptures and historic documents about the life of the Queen will be on display in Charlottenburg Palace, including masterpieces by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Johann Gottfried Schadow and Christian Daniel Rauch.
On the idyllic Peacock Island, one of Queen Luise’s favourite places, contemporary artists are to stage an innovative exhibition project under the guidance of Michael Lukas (Munich).
Locations and event dates:
Charlottenburg Palace, new wing and Mausoleum, till May 30, 2010
Peacock Island, park building and dairy, May 1 – October 31, 2010
