Blooms, History, and Photography Art at the Benary Storage

This public tour offers a rare access to a place where Erfurt's industrial history, seed culture, and contemporary photography intertwine. At the Benary Storage, the special exhibition Flowers as Heritage meets the permanent presentation of the Printing Museum, coalescing into a carefully curated art experience.

Photography Meets Family History

Central to the exhibition is the work of Göttingen photographer Katrin Benary. Her flower images connect to a long-standing family history: Ernst Benary founded a seed propagation company in Erfurt in 1843, shaping the perception of blooms, colors, and details. This precision is also the allure of the exhibition. The examination of the works illustrates how photography, botanical memory, and entrepreneurial heritage merge into an independent visual language.

A House That Tells Material Stories

The Benary Storage, as a former seed storage, gives the presentation a unique spatial effect. Here, the exhibition atmosphere gains a historical depth, sharpening the focus on material, technique, and use. The Printing Museum and showcase depot complement the exhibit with the context of print art, collection objects, and city history. This creates an aesthetic experience between archive, exhibition, and lively mediation.

Tour as Cultural Education

The public tour is aimed at visitors interested in art and history who want to learn more about the connection between Erfurt's company history, photography, and museum presentation. The combination of the special exhibition and permanent presentation makes this appointment so appealing for cultural education: it shows how museums not only preserve stories but also reinterpret them through curation, context, and illustrative communication.

What Visitors Can Expect

Those attending this tour will experience a compact, content-rich walk through an extraordinary cultural format. It revolves around flowers as a motif, Erfurt as the location of a longstanding seed propagation, photography art as a perspective on nature and memory, and the Benary Storage as an authentic site of the city's history. A visit is worthwhile for anyone seeking concentrated forms of art, history, and museum discovery.

The art experience at the Benary Storage connects historical substance with visually striking presence. Anyone wanting to see Erfurt culturally anew should definitely experience this tour live.
