Blickachsen, Sculpture biennale in Bad Homburg, Germany
Blickachsen is a sculpture exhibition spread across the Kurpark and Schlosspark in Bad Homburg, displaying contemporary artworks within landscaped gardens. The pieces are positioned along specific viewing lines that follow the historic garden layout, creating pathways for visitors to discover works as they move through the parks.
The exhibition was founded in 1997, taking its name from Peter Josef Lenné's garden design principles that established viewing axes throughout Bad Homburg's Kurpark. Since its creation, the show uses these historic sight lines as the framework for positioning contemporary sculptures.
The exhibition brings works by artists from around the world into public green spaces, turning gardens into open-air galleries for artistic exchange. Visitors and residents encounter contemporary pieces during their walks, experiencing how modern sculpture fits into the rhythm of everyday outdoor life.
The exhibition is freely accessible during daylight hours from May through October without any admission fees required. Visitors should wear comfortable walking shoes and allow time to explore the various locations spread across the spacious garden areas.
The exhibition rotates every two years with different museums and institutions curating each edition, bringing completely new artistic perspectives and works. This ensures that the gardens constantly evolve, inviting repeat visitors to discover entirely different pieces on each visit.
