(12 May 2017, Germany) ATELIER BRÜCKNER will be taking part in the International Museum Day with an open atelier from 2 to 6 p.m. on 21st of May. The Stuttgart exhibition designer, which celebrates its 20 years of existence this year, will be offering visitors an opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes look at scenography and what it involves. During guided tours through the spacious atelier rooms at Krefelder Straße 32 in Stuttgart, current projects ranging from the Wagenhallen in Stuttgart to the Grand Egyptian Museum in Gizeh will be presented – in total, more than 20 projects worldwide.
A presentation at 4 p.m. will be given with the title “Zwischen Raumbild und Weltbild – Mut zur Szenografie” (“Between narrative image and worldview – Scenography needs courage”), whereby museum scientist Linda Greci and communications designer Eva-Maria Heinrich will be talking about the potential and responsibility of scenographic design.
ATELIER BRÜCKNER was established by Prof. Uwe R. Brückner and his wife, Shirin Frangoul-Brückner, in 1997. Working with their partners, Prof. Eberhard Schlag and Britta Nagel, they have made it into a globally active company with around 100 employees.

The classical projects of the company include the trading room of the Deutsche Börse in Frankfurt, the BMW Museum in Munich, the Visitors’ Centre of the European Parliament in Brussels and the Haus der Geschichte Baden-Württemberg in Stuttgart. Recently, the Hyundai Motorstudio Goyang in Korea and the permanent exhibition “Swiss Archaeology” in the Swiss National Museum in Zurich were opened.
ATELIER BRÜCKNER designs scenographically conceived spaces, in which content is expressed three-dimensionally in a staged context. These spaces thus become special and memorable walk-in experiences. “Only the idea that actually reaches the recipients counts in the end. Good scenography must inform and fascinate. It combines logic and magic.” (Prof. Uwe R. Brückner)
