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.

Faces are omnipresent. We see them in newspapers and magazines, on advertising posters, in our Instagram feed or on TikTok. The face is an expression of personality. We learn to read faces and interpret looks from an early age. Not least in our digital world with Facebook and selfies, the face is the medium of expression, self-presentation and communication.

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.

Why do hunters wear green - and how well is it actually camouflaged? The special exhibition at Kranichstein Hunting Lodge sheds light on how wild animals see colors - and why bright warning colors are often more inconspicuous for deer than green capes. Between traditional hunting clothing and modern functional fashion, the exhibition looks at camouflage, signaling effects and the role of the color green in hunting culture.

Modernism entered the main staircase of the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt in the 1950s with four large-format tapestries.

Understanding clouds has never been more important.
