On April 4^th and 5^th 2025 we are going to visit landscape gardens and country houses of the Gartenreich around Dessau. On Friday, 4 April, we will visit the Luisium and its park as well as Oranienbaum with its country house, Chinese garden, Pagoda and dragon´s house.

On Saturday, 5 April, we will visit the park at Wörlitz with a number of its attractions and collections, including the chateau, the Gotisches Haus and the Villa Hamilton. These places will offer to us ample possibilities to discuss the connections and exchange between British and German art and architecture in the late 18^th century and beyond.

We are very much looking forward to see you in Dessau-Wörlitz and share this promising programme with you!
