Description [EN]
14,000 years of Pomeranian culture and history are presented here in an award-winning architectural ensemble that combines impressive Gothic, neo-classical, and contemporary architecture. One admission fee, two exhibitions: visit the “Gallery of Romanticism” and “Pomerania – Land by the Sea”.
Gallery of Romanticism
Seeing Caspar David Friedrich
Born in Greifswald in 1774, Caspar David Friedrich is now the most famous German artist of the 19th century, and is the focus of the new Gallery of Romanticism. The new permanent exhibition shows how his view of nature revolutionized landscape painting.
A chapel installation serves as a multimedia work of art, setting the scene for Friedrich‘s poetic imagery in the works that follow. Visitors can immerse themselves in his originals and experience how his paintings took shape. The exhibition traces the life and work of the son of a soap boiler from Swedish Pomerania, revealing what kind of person and painter he was. His home region inspired him throughout his life – and continues to fascinate to this day. An interactive colour scale leads visitors to Friedrich‘s motifs in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and invites them to rediscover his iconic landscapes.
Pomerania – Land by the Sea
The Baltic Sea is the defining element in the countries bordering it. It unites and divides, is full of mysteries and stories that are told in our regional history exhibition. From glaciers to the Reformation, from the Swedish era to European Pomerania: discover the German-Polish region of Pomerania / Pomorze at the Grey Monastery!
We look forward to your visit!
