International Museum Day at the Museum of Garden Culture: An art experience between exhibition and garden
On International Museum Day, the Museum of Garden Culture in Illertissen opens its doors for a special discovery tour through the exhibition, garden library, and museum gardens. From 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the house invites visitors to a tour that combines cultural history, nature experience, and aesthetic education in a single exhibition visit. The guided tour from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM takes visitors through Longing for the Garden, the library, and the thematically designed garden spaces. Admission is free.

Between Collection, Landscape, and Knowledge Space
The Museum of Garden Culture is much more than a classic museum: it combines a collection of historical gardening tools, a scholarly garden library, and an outdoor area with museum gardens. The exhibition Longing for the Garden presents the garden as a mirror of society, change, and the art of living. This creates an exhibition atmosphere where the contemplation of works and views of the garden intertwine. Historical objects, books, and plants are not shown in isolation but made experienceable as part of a vibrant cultural history.

The Exhibition Longing for the Garden as a Cultural Journey Through Time
The permanent exhibition focuses on the theme Longing for the Garden and links garden history with questions of sustainability, use, nutrition, and the future. The house describes its approach as a visually striking staging of a garden that goes far beyond mere scenery. Those who visit the tour experience a museum narrative that elegantly combines art historical order, museum didactics, and sensory spatial effect.

Garden Library and Museum Gardens as Learning Places
A special charm lies in the connection of indoor and outdoor spaces. The garden library makes gardening literature accessible, while the museum gardens, with their various themes, make the material side of knowledge visible. The outdoor area is freely accessible, and the museum gardens are open year-round. Thus, Museum Day becomes an open educational offer for families, garden enthusiasts, and those interested in culture.

Accessibility, Service, and Visitor Comfort
The museum building with café, library, and exhibition space is barrier-free accessible. The location is certified as partially accessible, and a disabled parking space is designated. For groups and guided tours, coordination is done through the Garden Culture Foundation or the Gaißmayer nursery. This keeps visits well-organized.
