Opening Event "Mehr als eine Realität - Queere Persepektiven in der Schausammlung" im Landesmuseum Württemberg

Experience the Württemberg State Museum in a whole new way and join us in celebrating the opening of the exhibition intervention“More Than One Reality—Queer Perspectives in the Permanent Collection”! Together with queer artists Ida Liliom, Alisha Soraya, and Melissa Schlecht, we invite you to discover artistic installations in the permanent collection that challenge conventions, are fun, and stir emotions. Familiar exhibits will appear in a whole new light, revealing stories that have long been overlooked, hidden, or left untold.

Here’swhat awaits you:

Artistic interventions: Amid burial goods from the Early Middle Ages, empty display cases, and familiar narratives about King Charles of Württemberg, new perspectives on the state’s history emerge.

Exciting panel discussion: At 8:00 p.m., Dr. Maaike van Rijn from the Württemberg State Museum will speak with Karl-Heinz Steinle from the research project “Lifestyles, Repression, and Persecution of LGBTIQ People in Baden and Württemberg under National Socialism and in the Federal Republic of Germany” at the University of Stuttgart about queer regional history, individual biographies, and stories that have long been hidden or overlooked.

Beats & Drinks in the castle courtyard: DJOVA kicks things off at 8 p.m. with a mix of ’90s dance, hip-hop, and R&B—nostalgic and modern at the same time!
Starting at 9:30 p.m., headliner DJ Afropunk brings Afro, dancehall, and club sounds to the castle. Her sets are all about empowerment and pure energy!

Summer vibes: The museum café and the Principe coffee roastery will be serving cool drinks and refreshments all night long.

Come on by and celebrate with us!
