Wild Diversity in the Garden at the Botanical Garden Erlangen: The Hidden Beauty of the Living
The exhibition Wild Diversity in the Garden brings to light those forms of nature that are often overlooked in everyday life. At the Botanical Garden of Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg, an artistic experience of ecological perception unfolds: fungi, mosses, insects, tiny living beings as well as birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles become visible as parts of a finely woven habitat.
A Garden as a Living System
The exhibition presents the garden not as a decorative backdrop, but as a dynamic framework of relationships. Especially in the aesthetic experience of the open air, it becomes clear how diverse botanical spaces are beyond the planted order. The exhibition combines nature observation, environmental education, and curatorial clarity into an illustrative study of biodiversity.
Ecological Relationships to Learn About
The thematic stations on fungi, lichens, mosses, wild bees, butterflies, and aquatic habitats are exciting. Exotics in the garden, neobiota, and the role of plants as habitats are also clearly presented. Those who look closely will discover a resonance space of colors, shapes, and materials that makes the Botanical Garden an experience of both a learning place and a sensory space.
Guided Tour on June 21, 2026
On Sunday, June 21, 2026, Katrin Simon will guide through the exhibition and open air from 11:00 to 11:30 AM. This short, focused tour provides a concise access to the contents and makes visible how biodiversity can be promoted in one’s own garden or on the balcony. The tour complements the exhibition with an immediate museum educational experience.
Location, Atmosphere, and Visitor Value
The Botanical Garden, with its open air and greenhouses, is located in an environment characterized by tranquility, scientific precision, and sensory openness. Admission is free, the exhibition runs during the summer half-year, and convincingly combines nature experience with cultural education. For families, garden enthusiasts, and art lovers, a quiet yet highly relevant experience emerges about the value of diversity.
Conclusion: Wild Diversity in the Garden is an exhibition for anyone who wants not only to observe nature but to understand it deeply. Those who want to experience biodiversity as an aesthetic and cultural experience should definitely visit this event live in Erlangen.
