In addition to anthroposophy, exhibited are Steiner’s works in the visual arts, architecture, as well as industrial and set design. In addition, the exhibition presents pieces from artists in Steiner’s time. Design from recent years showcases his continued influence.

The currency of Steiner’s thinking becomes evident in the expansive exhibition exploring questions of society, social wellbeing and ecology. These themes, as well as Steiner’s blackboard drawings were also highlighted in the Venice Biennale Central Pavilion this year.
