Historical Gardens and Climate Change

special exhibition

Climate change poses an unprecedented challenge to our historical parks and gardens. In this exhibition, we present several possibilities to minimise the impact of climate change.  

The Klassik Stiftung Weimar is a member of the action group “Historical Gardens and Climate Change”, a joint initiative by the German Association of Garden Art and Landscaping Culture and the Association of German Castles and Gardens. The project serves to bundle the members’ competence and expertise in cultivating, studying and publicly presenting historical gardens.

The exhibition in the north wing of the Belvedere Orangery features exemplary measures taken by the Castle and Gardens department to counter the effects of climate change. These include solutions for safeguarding existing trees, cultural environmental education projects and measures to protect and preserve historical park paths.

Das Bild zeigt eine virtuelle Szene in einem Raum mit blauen Wänden und einem Holzboden. Mehrere Avatare, die VR-Headsets tragen, stehen in der Mitte des Raumes. Um sie herum befinden sich verschiedene Statuen und Büsten auf Sockeln. An den Wänden hängen gerahmte Bilder und Skizzen. Im Hintergrund ist eine Treppe zu sehen, die nach oben führt, sowie eine offene Tür, die in einen anderen Raum führt. Die Szene wirkt wie eine virtuelle Kunstgalerie oder ein Museum.
