We are in a hurry to inform you that the works related to the opening of the new temporary exhibition 'DAISY~NATURA(LNIE)' in the educational and exhibition building of the European Bison Showe Farm in the Historical Park of Pszczyna are nearing completion. The exhibition is organized in connection with the 150th anniversary of the birth and the 80th anniversary of the death of Princess Daisy von Pless, respectively. The exhibition will present this figure from a slightly different perspective~in relation to written memoirs and archival materials depicting the natural world and places mentioned by the Duchess.

The collected materials confirm that the Duchess was a figure characterizing the cultural identity of Europe at that time, values ​​that are extremely important also in today's 21st century. The exhibition, mainly scenario assumptions, presents Princess Daisy's view of the broadly understood world of nature and gives voice to the author herself. The main idea is to show the duchess from a little-known perspective, a person who sees the beauty of the surrounding nature and landscapes. Through the selection of quotes and a coherent photographic presentation, we encourage you to reflect a little deeper on "the most beautiful rose in my garden", as the Empress Frederic, i.e. Victoria née Sachsen~Coburg und Gotha, used to say about the Duchess. The arrangement of the space is aimed at creating a thread connecting the main character with Nature. Also through the form of presenting the exhibition, we get the expression that we are on a specific journey, during which our only guide is Her Royal Highness ~ Daisy Hochberg von Pless.
