Welcome to
Villa Irmgard

Richly decorated with Art Nouveau elements, not only the exterior of the villa has been preserved in its original form. The interior also breathes the spirit of bygone times. The inventory is contemporary history you can touch. But the small museum not only houses Wilhelminian and Art Nouveau antiques. It is also a very modern place that invites you to special events, concerts, readings, lectures, film screenings and small theater performances. Changing exhibitions always attract art lovers to the first floor. In summer, the villa's garden is filled with music. When it gets uncomfortable and stormy outside, the cozy candlelight concerts are very popular.

AND YET AND DESPITE ALL THIS, ONE DAY PEOPLE WILL CAN'T HOW BROTHERS LIVE

The title of the exhibition by Polish artist Hubert Czerepok, “And yet and in spite of everything, one day people will NOT live like brothers” paraphrases Maxim Gorky’s famous quote, which he wrote in 1922 during his stay at Villa Irmgard in Heringsdorf. The exhibition brings together drawings based on photographs of events that took place 100 years apart: the Bucha massacre and archive images of the famine in Ukraine (Holodomor), which claimed the lives of several million Ukrainians. By drawing on the past, the artist reveals that history always repeats itself twice. Czerepok’s light sculptures will also be on display at Villa Irmgard, including the astonishingly contemporary neon sign “Americans, I am afraid of” from 2016.

Maxim Gorky

On the massive desk an open notebook, full of thoughts, ideas, visions, right next door there is a cozy sofa in an Art Nouveau alcove, soft piano cascades trickle down the old, crooked wooden staircase from the first floor - the two-storey Villa Irmgard kidnaps its visitors a journey through time into the life of one of the most famous Russian writers of the early 20th century. Maxim Gorki lived and worked here for several months in 1922 and recovered from a serious illness in the fresh Baltic Sea air. He loved the sound of the waves and the silence of the surrounding forests. Here, in the Villa Irmgard, he received Alexei Tolstoy and other famous friends and wrote his autobiography “My Universities”. And even today, the former living quarters look as if the passionate writer was about to enter through the glass patio door.
