7 March - 25 May 2025

The exhibition Wild Apollo’s Arrows. Klopstock Cult & Ossian Fever, knowledgeably compiled by the illustrator and visual historian Alexander Roob, deals with the threshold period between the 18th and 19th centuries and provides insights into a period of conflict between the Enlightenment and Counter-Enlightenment. His approach to the selected holdings of the art collections and their present interpretation is not least important for the transhistorical method of the art collections in their program, as it underscores the nature of reprises and retrovisions within the past centuries, which have repeatedly opposing wave movements of enlightenment ideals on the one hand, revolt on the one hand, revolt and flight from the world on the other.

The exhibition turns to a time of upheaval, characterized by characterized by the reaction to the "terror of reason" of the Enlightenment Enlightenment - with religious fanaticism, superstition, national myths and -mysticism, projections of myths of origin and foundation, and even their to their invention. Especially in the mirror of our time a reflection on the causes and the development of the exaltation emotions, extremes, fake news, the defamation of otherness, the retreat to defamation of otherness, the retreat to one's own and the cultivation of and the cultivation of atavistic longings.
