Insects are irreplaceable. But their number and diversity are decreasing rapidly. In his annual exhibition “Playful? – Roulette with the insect and plant world” from July 18th to October 6th, 2024, the Palmengarten is dedicated to the ecological importance of flowers and pollinators. Along a varied route through the outdoor area, the historic palm house and the galleries, thirty-one artists illustrate our dependence on insects and plants as well as their incomparable beauty with metal sculptures, video animations, sound art, photography, painting and other media. Visitors can look forward to a unique art experience.
