About Stiftung Kunst und Natur
editThe Stiftung Kunst und Natur is a unique cultural institution dedicated to the sensory engagement with art, culture, nature, and landscape. Founded in 2012 by entrepreneur Susanne Klatten, the foundation aims to promote a society that lives in harmony with its natural and cultural foundations. Through interdisciplinary programs and events, the foundation inspires and activates people to engage responsibly and respectfully with their environment.
Main Locations and Programs
editThe Stiftung Kunst und Natur operates at two significant locations: Nantesbuch and the Museum Sinclair-Haus in Bad Homburg.
Nantesbuch
editLocated in the heart of the Bavarian pre-Alps, the Nantesbuch site extends over 320 hectares of forests, meadows, and moors. Here, the foundation is actively involved in renaturation projects, landscape maintenance, and sustainable agriculture and forestry. The Lange Haus, a central event venue, offers a diverse cultural and educational program with a special focus on the theme "Living Soils." The foundation uses this space to present temporary artistic interventions and permanent projects that make the connection between art and nature tangible.
Museum Sinclair-Haus
editIn Bad Homburg, in the midst of the cultural region of Rhein-Main, the Museum Sinclair-Haus provides an exhibition space for contemporary international art. The changing exhibitions are complemented by a comprehensive interdisciplinary event program. The museum also offers a studio and the adjacent castle park as creative spaces for artistic engagement.
Mission and Values
editThe Stiftung Kunst und Natur strives to give people the opportunity to experience art and nature in a sensory way, thereby inspiring a more conscious and responsible way of life. The foundation sees art and nature as crucial impulses for shaping a sustainable society. It promotes individual initiative and self-responsibility and works intensively with regional partners and cultural institutions to extend its impact beyond its own locations.
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editSustainability is a central component of the work of Stiftung Kunst und Natur. In Nantesbuch, comprehensive measures for renaturation and landscape maintenance are implemented to protect and promote the natural environment. The foundation advocates for forest conversion and extensive agriculture and forestry to preserve biodiversity and conserve natural resources. These initiatives reflect the foundation's commitment to shaping a sustainable future and anchoring the importance of nature and environmental awareness in society.
Through its diverse programs and initiatives, Stiftung Kunst und Natur provides a platform for dialogue and engagement with the central issues of our time and invites people to become part of a movement that recognizes art and nature as essential components of a fulfilling life.
