For the contemporary part of the exhibition, artists have been invited whose works depict the stars. Their works are part of a tradition of artistic interpretation of the celestial sphere characterized by the push-and-pull between wonder, knowledge and discovery, between stabilizing order and dizzying dynamics, and between natural science and the supernatural.
Featured artists: Björn Dahlem, Mischa Kuball, Katarína Poliačiková, Johanna Reich, Susanne Rottenbacher, Michael Sailstorfer, Brigitte Waldach, Johannes Wohnseifer ... and Ludwig II’s bedchamber as designed by painter Moritz von Schwind
