From now on, we are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Our new opening hours are Wednesday – Sunday, 10am – 5pm.

A new room of the exhibition with deep red walls where glass vessels and white lilies are displayed on what looks like volcanic rock or black soil. This creates a striking contrast between the delicate transparent glass, pure white flowers, and rough black material. Black and white photographs hang on the walls behind these installations.
