Stardust and Seabed at the Valentin-Karlstadt-Museum: A poetic journey between ocean and cosmos

With the special exhibition Stardust and Seabed, the Valentin-Karlstadt-Museum opens a view onto two contrasting worlds of images that could hardly be more opposite yet belong together intimately: the depths of the ocean and the vastness of the universe. On July 26, 2026, the exhibition invites visitors to an art experience that oscillates between illusion, materiality, and fantasy. Works by Miriam Frank and Philipp Liehr will transform the museum into an atmospheric stage for discovery and aesthetic experience.([valentin-karlstadt-musaeum.de](https://www.valentin-karlstadt-musaeum.de/ausstellung/detail/sternenstaub-und-meeresgrund-new6a4e80243a2a6755802011))

Between Seabed and Stardust

Miriam Frank leads into mysterious depths where sea creatures, bearded sailors, and mermaids appear as powerfully illustrative figures of a narrative present. Her work process, shaped by illustration, diverse materials, and tattoo practice, gives the works an immediate, craft-sensitive presence. In contrast, Philipp Liehr offers the vastness of the universe: His astronauts and wooden sculptures blend humor, precision, and contemporary sculpture into an equally light and reflective examination of the works.([valentin-karlstadt-musaeum.de](https://www.valentin-karlstadt-musaeum.de/ausstellung/detail/sternenstaub-und-meeresgrund-new6a4e80243a2a6755802011))

Material, Form, and Fantasy in Space

The exhibition thrives on the tension between graphic narration and plastic corporeality. Frank works with a polyphony of forms, while Liehr employs the visible language of wood. This creates an exhibition atmosphere where painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation come together in a clear curatorial dramaturgy. The result is not an illustrative juxtaposition but a dialogue about adventure, perception, and the unknown.([valentin-karlstadt-musaeum.de](https://www.valentin-karlstadt-musaeum.de/ausstellung/detail/sternenstaub-und-meeresgrund-new6a4e80243a2a6755802011))

The Museum as a Stage for Cultural Education

The Valentin-Karlstadt-Museum at Isartor is much more than a classic museum location. It combines collection, humor, city history, and mediation into a place of cultural education, where Munich's history intertwines with surprising present. The collection traces back to Hannes König and is closely linked to Karl Valentin, Liesl Karlstadt, and the Munich folk singing tradition. For this reason, the special exhibition resonates here particularly well: It connects historical heritage with contemporary art production.([muenchen.de](https://www.muenchen.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten/museen/valentin-karlstadt-musaeum?utm_source=openai))
