WELCOME TO OUR ART SUITE.

Galanthus nivalis – Snowdrop – the flower that defies the snow and tells us that spring is on its way. The snow is deep but soon spring is here and snowdrops and crocuses emerge from the snow when the sun returns. Giant snowdrops strive for the light along with glittering grape hyacinths and sheer grass straws. In this suite, the visitor encounters spring in macro format. Large spring flowers hang from the walls and emerge from the snowcovered floor. This creates a feeling of being in the midst of a spring meadow.
