Historic walks with stories adapted to children.
Cultural event with classical music.

Schloß Hollenegg for Design is a non-profit cultural initiative, whose mission is to support young emerging designers, with the aim of creating space for design research, thinking and critique.

This year exhibition Legacy, will explore the importance of heritage, in personal and collective terms, looking both at the past and at the future. As individuals, the intangible inheritance we have received from our upbringing shapes us profoundly. At the same time, there comes a moment in life when we must ask ourselves what meaning our life and work has for the future.

Legacy will present new works by nineteen international designers, spread across the historical rooms of the castle, which are normally not open to the public. Modern design will be placed in conversation with old artefacts and fine art.

The exhibition is open to the public from 11:00 to 17:00 and the ticket costs 5€. Members: free entry.

Travel campaign: Explore Baltic Manors
Dedicated t the Centenaries of Baltic countries and European Year of Cultural Heritage – Summer 2018
More than 130 historic manor houses and castles in three Baltic countries will open their doors to the visitors in summer 2018. The manor associations of three countries have joined their forces to organize a cross-border event to visualize the density of manor network in these countries; to highlight the significance of the manors as drivers of cultural, economic and regional development in the past as well as today.
Visitors are invited to manors already well-known for their professional restoration, interesting museums, excellent services or high level cultural activities. But there are many more to explore, small or big, in better or worse condition. Each and every of them is a testimony of bygone times and is already or has a potential to influence the cultural and economic development of the area.

The great festival of modernism and the “indianos”
Parc Samà wants to celebrate the important heritage of those “indianos” who with their fortune raised the main modernist buildings in Catalonia. One of the best examples is the work of Josep Fonseré, main architect of the park. But Modernism was not just an architectural, but also artistic movement; it was an artistic renewal, shaped by a new aesthetic based primarily on nature.

The event aims to link three essentials concepts of Parc Samà: Modernisme, Indianos and Nature; through a celebration that combines actors and visitors wearing white dresses, concerts of “havaneres”, exhibitions, games and guided visits.
