The neo-classical building, home today to numerous archives, was first opened in 1819 as a court theatre, designed by Georg Moller. With room for almost two thousand spectators, Grand Duke Ludwig 1 wanted to open the opera to a broader public. It has not been used as an opera house since it was destroyed during the war in September 1944.

The diaries of Fabian von Massenbach, aide-de-camp to Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig, which were kept under lock and key for many years, paint an unusual picture of the period between 1896 and 1948. The exhibition focuses on Hesse’s transition to democracy from 1918 to 1948 and also examines the threats to that process. Massenbach provides a vivid account of this process, offering commentary and documentation that allow visitors to understand it through the direct experience of a contemporary witness.

The Herrngarten is a favorite gathering place for Darmstadt residents and a green oasis in the heart of the city. Originally laid out as a kitchen garden, the Herrngarten was transformed into a Baroque pleasure garden in the 17th century and, under Landgravine Karoline in the 18th century, into an English-style landscape park.

In this major anniversary year for the Swiss-born artist Arnold Böcklin (1827–1901), Darmstadt marks the start of an exhibition series in the cities of Berlin, Leipzig, and Basel. As one of the outstanding painters of Symbolism, Arnold Böcklin had a decisive influence on German art in the second half of the 19th century. Fame, however, came to him only late in life.

Dragons have inspired the human imagination for thousands of years. The fascinating mythical creatures are part of the repertoire of great stories - from ancient myths to contemporary series highlights. Dragon books, games and stuffed animals can even be found in many children‘s rooms. Depending on the cultural context, very different characteristics are attributed to dragons: In European cultures, they appear as menacing creatures that combine the characteristics of snakes and predators. In China, Korea and Japan, on the other hand, the dragon has mostly positive connotations and keeps nature in balance as a cosmic force.

For the first time, the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt is presenting the expressive works on paper by Hedwig Kruse-Geibel (Frankfurt/Main 1895-1991 Darmstadt). Her works revolve around her role as an artist, adored one, lover, mother or abandoned wife. Removed from her time and at the same time far ahead of it, she created a crossover of cultures, combining ancient mythology, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and Islam. Her immensely dense paintings depict fantastic creatures, figures from mysticism and fairy tales. They live from the line and bright colors.

The Spanish Tower on the Rosenhoehe is a curiosity. Not just its purpose but also when it was built and by whom is still today a puzzle. No historical documents are available, leaving plenty of room for speculation. Karl Esselborn suspects that it was formerly a functional building, maybe a windmill.
