Pirna Sculpture Summer

At a glance

Every year, an art exhibition takes place on the Sonnenstein high above the town of Pirna, which is probably unique in its kind.

The Pirna Sculpture Summer starts its twelfth year in May with figures, installations and interventions. In 2025, the exhibition curated by Pirna's culture award winner Christiane Stoebe will be held under the motto "Resonance". From 11 May to 5 October 2025, the renowned show can once again be experienced in the bastions of Sonnenstein Fortress, complemented by a suitable accompanying program with special guided tours.

The new exhibition with visual art from Germany and the Czech Republic aims to touch guests in a special way and thus create a deep inner resonance. The interplay of figures, installations and interventions in the fortifications is intended to stimulate reflection and make the unconscious resonate. The unique architecture of the bastions creates an atmospheric space for this.

The positions of works by well-known sculptors such as Jan Hendrych from the Czech Republic and Waldemar Grzimek from Germany correspond with the works of young artists from both countries. In this way, the guests will be able to find echoes of their own feelings and experience unconscious emotional aspects.
