Reading Clouds, Interpreting Skies: Curator Tour at the Angermuseum
The exhibition Close to Heaven. Clouds in Art at the Angermuseum Erfurt opens up a perspective on a motif that has occupied artists for centuries: the cloud as form, mood, symbol, and fleeting pictorial space. The curator tour on May 28, 2026, invites participants to trace this transformation in a direct discussion of the works and to experience the exhibition with artistic historical depth.

A Motif Between Observation and Imagination
Clouds are part of everyday experience yet remain ever elusive. This is precisely where their fascination for art lies: they connect natural observation, atmosphere, light management, and poetic openness. The Erfurt exhibition brings works from different epochs into a dialogue with contemporary art and shows how clouds re-emerge in painting, graphics, and tapestry.

The Angermuseum as a Place for Viewing Works
The historic packing and weighing yard at the intersection of Anger and Bahnhofstraße provides an impressive setting for this exhibition. The museum originated from the donation of Friedrich Nerly's estate and developed into a multifaceted art museum with significant collections, including paintings, graphic collections, and art-historically relevant positions from the 19th century to East German art.

Curatorial Perspectives and Educational Offerings
The tour with curator Thomas von Taschitzki complements the exhibition with precise classification, material knowledge, and contextual interpretation. The Angermuseum also maintains a broad museum educational profile: public tours, art breaks at noon, programs for families, and inclusive formats for various target groups make the museum a vibrant place for cultural learning.

Clouds as Image, Sign, and Contemporary Theme
In the exhibition, clouds are not only experienced as a pictorial motif but also as a reflection of societal questions. The Art Museums Erfurt emphasize the dialogue between historical positions and contemporary art, where clouds are linked with themes such as climate change, transformation, and perception. This creates an exhibition that takes both aesthetics and reflection seriously.
