Experience flowers, printmaking, and the history of Erfurt's storage up close

The public tour in the Benary Storage offers a unique perspective on Erfurt's cultural and industrial history. The focal points are the special exhibition “Flowers as Heritage” and the permanent presentation of the printing museum and display depot – an art experience that connects photography, collection work, and historical storage architecture.

A House with Memory

The Benary Storage tells the story of a 19th-century building that was originally a seed storage facility and continues to thrive as a museum space today. In the preserved wooden interiors and historical room structure, the authentic exhibition atmosphere emerges that transforms architecture itself into an exhibit. Here, visitors encounter not just objects, but a multifaceted layer of urban history, production history, and cultural memory.

“Flowers as Heritage”: Photography and Family History

The special exhibition focuses on the photographic work of Katrin Benary and an inheritance closely tied to Erfurt's floral and horticultural history. The theme unfolds its charm between image, memory, and local identity. Particularly in the connection of contemporary photography and historical environment, an aesthetic experience is created that is both sensuous and insightful.

Printing Museum and Display Depot as a Workshop for Mediation

The printing museum in the Benary Storage vividly illustrates the history of printing technology: functioning machines, hand presses, and thematic changing exhibitions provide a direct access to the material culture of printing. The display depot complements this perspective with collection objects and curatorial depth. Thus, museum education is not explained here, but experienced – as work evaluation in space and as an encounter with historical cultural heritage.

For the Curious Who Want to See Urban History Anew

The tour is aimed at everyone who wants to explore Erfurt beyond familiar paths: art enthusiasts, history lovers, and visitors seeking a dialogue between exhibition, collection, and location. The Benary Storage offers a rare connection of historical authenticity, cultural education, and vivid mediation.

At the end, guests can expect a tour that makes Erfurt a city of flowers, print art, and vibrant museums. Those who want to experience the connection of photography, storage architecture, and collection culture live should definitely take this opportunity.
