Seniors' afternoon at the Porzellanikon


On Wednesday, 21 June 2023, the popular Seniors' Afternoon will once again be held at Porzellanikon - State Museum of Porcelain, Hohenberg a.d. Eger at 2:00 pm. This time, the theme of the senior citizens' afternoon is "Enchanting Nature", which many porcelain artists also like to take up again and again and which is reflected in their work. Animal figures and floral paintings were already very popular with porcelain lovers in the 18th century. Which animals and flowers were depicted and how has the design changed since then? Together with the museum team, the senior citizens go on a search for clues through the study collection. In the process, they discover elephants, cats, birds and many other exotic animals such as lions, rhinos and co., which provide them with inspiration for their own creations, which they can paint in the workshop after the tour with the support of a porcelain painter. Afterwards, participants can get together over coffee and cake to exchange ideas and enjoy a pleasant end to the afternoon. The next dates are 19 July and 13 September 2023.

The senior programmes deal with changing topics and last about 2 hours. The price is €10.00 plus museum admission per person and includes a guided tour, creative programme and coffee and cake. Registration at besuchercenter(at)porzellanikon.org or phone +49 9287 918000.
