When clouds become art: Mira Pöhlker at the Angermuseum Erfurt

This evening combines scientific precision with the poetic power of seeing. Prof. Dr. Mira Pöhlker speaks at the Angermuseum Erfurt about cloud and light phenomena, opening a viewpoint into that border zone where nature observation, visual language, and cultural discourse intersect.

Between sky, color, and knowledge

The current exhibition "So close to the sky: Clouds in Art" forms the resonance space for this lecture. The Art Museums Erfurt showcase works from over 500 years and 47 international positions. The evening promises a culturally charged literary and intellectual event that intertwines art history, natural science, and sensory perception.

An authority in cloud research in Erfurt

Mira Pöhlker teaches at the University of Leipzig and heads the Department of Atmospheric Microphysics at the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research. Her research focuses on aerosols, clouds, and their effects on climate, air quality, and radiation effects. This professional depth makes the lecture a special kind of author encounter: not in the sense of literary fiction, but as a public space for thought, where science becomes linguistically accessible and culturally effective.

The Angermuseum as a stage for thought

The Angermuseum is one of the defining cultural venues of Erfurt. The atmosphere of the building combines historical architecture with the quiet concentration of a museum space, where thoughts can resonate. For visitors, an intimate literary experience emerges between exhibition, lecture, and that atmosphere of reading that truly brings cultural themes to life.

Why the evening is worthwhile

Anyone interested in art, natural phenomena, climate research, and the language of images will find an extraordinary access here. The lecture opens the perspective on clouds not only as a meteorological phenomenon, but as a motif of art and idea history. This is the quality of this evening: it creates knowledge, aesthetics, and contemporary relevance in a single cultural moment.

Admission free, no registration required, a strong venue, a wise lecture, and a topic of great relevance: This evening invites you to experience science and art live and to sharpen your own perception anew.
