Rolling museum - Oldimer shuttle
Another highlight is the "Rolling Museum", which presents around 100 historic classic cars from various regions of Germany. These fascinating vehicles not only bring nostalgia to the city, but also a passion for classic cars. And offers guests a very special opportunity to do so: visitors can experience the flair of past decades on a free ride through the streets of Wiesbaden.
Highlights
There are many highlights in the program, including the exhibitions at the mre - Museum Ernst, the Hessian State Parliament and the "German Historicism Research Center", all of which are taking part in the "Short Night" for the first time, as well as the BBK Schaustelle and the Kunsthaus am Schulberg.
The mre will be dedicating an extensive special exhibition to the American artist Helen Frankenthaler. It is the first comprehensive solo exhibition of large-format paintings by the artist in almost a quarter of a century.
The exhibition "Barbara Klemm - Decisive Moments" and the winning photographs "Pressefoto Hessen" from the DJV Hessen, which will be shown in the Hessian State Parliament, offer a unique insight into the world of photography, especially press photography. Parallel to this Barbara Klemm exhibition, the Museum Wiesbaden is also showing portraits of artists by this internationally renowned photographer in a special exhibition.
The "German Research Center for Historicism" is a guest at the
"Theater kuenstlerhaus43 im Palasthotel" provides facts on the current discussion about the design of the square and shows traces of past eras.
"Shadow and Light" brings together works by 16 Wiesbaden artists in the BBK Schaustelle, which fill contrasts and tensions with life across a spectrum of personal styles. The aim is to discover how light and shadow play a central role not only in nature and art, but also in the human soul.
In the Kunsthaus am Schulberg (in the Kunsthalle and in the foyer), where the opening of the "Short Night" will take place at 6 pm on the square in front of the Kunsthalle in the presence of city councillor Dr. Hendrik Schmehl and the organizer of the event Erhard Witzel, the anniversary exhibition of the artists' group 50 "75 Years of Form, Colour, Freedom" can be seen.
