Be it the major clearances in the early Middle Ages or the reclamation of land for our current cultivated Alpine landscape, people have always been involved. With the aid of various maps and historical photographs, the show demonstrates how people have "planned" our forests and defined our landscape.

Project space 'Parliament of Plants'
17 July 2020–17 January 2021
As part of the exhibition Parliament of Plants, the admission-free 'Seitenlichtsaal' is conceived as a changing, growing "project space". It links the immediate outside world with questions of art and will enablemeetings between a wide range of scientific and artistic-poetic approaches to and perspectives on the plant kingdom.
A production of Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, curated by Christiane Meyer-Stoll with Annett Höland, co-curator of the project space.
