Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt: Entry to the exhibition building Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt: Entrance fee to the exhibition building

This is only the entrance fee to the special exhibition; a guided tour is not included in this ticket!
On the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the first exhibition of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony at the Mathildenhöhe, the Institut Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt is dedicating the show "A Step Ahead" to the question of how design, architecture, and art shape social developments: then as now.

Four visionary building exhibitions between 1901 and 1914 gave the Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt its present appearance and led to its inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The historic artists' colony always understood design as a holistic concept for improving everyday life. This progressive approach continues to the present day and forms the starting point of the exhibition.

In four thematically structured halls, "A Step Ahead" focuses on the four historic building exhibitions of 1901, 1904, 1908, and 1914. Original works of applied and visual art enter into a dialogue with contemporary international positions from design and art. Each hall functions as a resonance chamber for central themes such as worldviews, community and individuality, identity and social issues, as well as introspection and departure.

Historical design approaches of the artists' colony are linked to current issues: new production methods, innovative materials, participatory processes, and the use of artificial intelligence open up perspectives on future living environments. Walk-in installations, interactive architectures, and changing exhibition structures invite the audience to become part of this discussion themselves.

There is a special focus on the exhibition architecture: With the help of contemporary AI technologies, the first and last historical building exhibitions will be reconstructed in a color 3D visualization and integrated into the exhibition in a large format. In this way, the Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt can once again be experienced as a place of experimental spatial art.

Open: Tuesday to Sunday, 11 AM - 6 PM
