'Colorful Dreams in Winter' is a journey into the secret world of the inner garden, where undying dreams bloom and fantastical creatures live. The author, artist Alexandra Koen, creates a space where every visitor can feel like a child again: to sense the scale of wonder, peek into the hidden corners of imagination, and believe in the impossible. The exhibition is at the museum from December 4 to February 1, 2026.
Winter often seems like a time of muted tones, but here — despite the cold and gray — giant flowers bloom like snowdrops. They become symbols of hope: even in the coldest season a personal oasis can blossom in the heart. The atmospheric sound accompaniment is the project 'Reconstruction of Moss'.

What awaits visitors
* Magical garden. The intimate space transforms into a living fairy tale: giant flowers, mirrored reflections, muted light, and atmospheric musical accompaniment. You will find yourself in a world where it's easy to imagine being Thumbelina or Tom Thumb — and to see everything through a child's eyes.
* Fantastic inhabitants. The garden is home to amazing creatures:
* doploousli — guardians of creative souls;
* the eternal-child axolotl;
* a giant hedgehog;
* unicorns and dragons that keep the secrets of dreams.
* Wishing tree. Guests can tie a note with a cherished dream to its branches — and leave it in this magical space.
* Cabinet-portal. Behind the mirrored doors with wings hides another world: little characters live there, and postcards and stories hang on the wings. Nearby is a mailbox: anyone can drop in a story about the creatures that inhabit their own inner garden.
* Dreams on the walls. Flat figures of fairy-tale characters seem to have stepped off the pages of dreams. Mirrors multiply the images, creating a sense of endless wonder.
Why this is worth seeing
This exhibition is not just an exposition but an immersive experience in imagination. It reminds us that:
* everyone carries their own blooming garden within;
* dreams have the power to turn into reality;
* even in winter one can find brightness, light, and wonder.
Come to:
* rediscover the child within;
* leave a wish on the wishing tree;
* invent a story for the cabinet-portal;
* see a world where dreams become tangible and flowers bloom even in the frost.
