The exhibition is titled “EDEN – Extraordinary Garden (EDEN – Im Garten des Au·ergew·hnlichen). ” The exhibition areas are situated in varied spaces in the museum, with each illustrating a different aspect of Franz’s brand story. For example, Franz designers purposefully created two towering walls with shelves, on which 144 porcelain figurines and cups & saucers are placed, to kick off the exhibition.

The small attic at the top is an excellent venue for showcasing the pieces of Franz.

Colorful porcelain furniture made an interesting contrast with the unassuming wooden structure of the building.

Through the interaction of varied colors, materials and images, every corner seems to have become a unique piece of artwork, which demonstrates the breakthroughs in porcelain artistry Franz has achieved in terms of shapes, colors and texture.
