An art secret full of visual worlds at the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum
With Cabinet of Wonders, the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum in Braunschweig opens an atmospheric exhibition experience between art chamber, memory, and fantasy. The exhibition runs from April 24, 2026, to October 4, 2026, and features the first comprehensive retrospective of Lothar Osterburg in Europe.

Between cabinet of wonders and modern visual language
Osterburg combines printmaking, photography, sculpture, model building, and video into multifaceted visual worlds. Particularly impressive: the rare heliogravure, monumental series such as Piranesi, Babel, Alternative New York, and Waterline, as well as works with music by Elizabeth Brown. The exhibition draws on historical cabinets and the rooms of the HAUM, creating a sensual interplay of light, detail, and spatial effect.

A museum with a great history as a fitting frame
The Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum is one of the oldest museums in Europe and has one of the most significant collections of old art in Germany. The historical depth of the house enhances the impression of the exhibition: here an internationally working artist meets an institution shaped by passion for collecting, art history, and curatorial precision.
