Coins are among the smallest portraits in the world. These masterpieces of miniature art show busts or faces of prominent individuals in amazing detail and usually in profile. In many cases, the diminutive nature of the coin portraits necessitates the use of highly symbolic visual imagery. Yet, the hairstyles, clothes and accessories are more than just aesthetic embellishments, they reflect the zeitgeist and offer a window into the culture of ages past. The exhibition Turning Heads (Kopf & Kragen) presents over a hundred numismatic portraits from a cultural and historical perspective, casting light on fashion and lifestyle from several millennia.

Everything is in *The Magic Flute*! This exhibition showcases the latest collection from Munich-based veteran collector Dr. Günter Grish and his wife Rosemary. They have meticulously amassed a large collection of Mozart's works, with a particular focus on *The Magic Flute* and "Freemasonry in the Mozart Era." Among these is an extremely rare libretto from the 1791 premiere, featuring Immanuel Schikaned as Papageno.

This large-scale exhibition presents the works of two of the 20th century's most important figurative painters—Pablo Picasso and Francis Bacon—through a striking juxtaposition. Deeply influenced by Picasso, Bacon aspired to be a painter. He spent his life struggling against this great mentor, ultimately striving to surpass him. In the latter half of the 20th century, Bacon aspired to play the role Picasso had played in the first half: a chronicler of all the broken faces of humanity. Both artists placed human existence at the center of their visual world. They both had a deep fascination with the human body—torn apart, reassembled, and reshaped with radical force. In their distorted depictions, they revealed pain, desire, and vulnerability, mercilessly reflecting the modern human soul. Themes such as the cross, screams, bullfights, nudity, and "Eros's Tears" revealed the dramatic nature of life for them. Although Picasso himself was not influenced by Bacon, he closely followed Bacon's artistic career. Over 100 works from international museums and private collections are presented in a striking juxtaposition, showcasing the commonalities in the works of these two masters and Picasso's significant influence on later artists.

Jürgen Meltz is a glacier photographer who captures the silhouettes of these white giants from diverse perspectives. He creates classic landscape photographs while also revisiting historical sites where photographers took panoramic photographs a century ago. Through comparative photography, he hopes to showcase the beauty of mountains gradually disappearing due to climate change, thereby prompting reflection. Another focus of his work is documenting glacier caves. He observes glaciers up close and uses drones to explore their abstract structures and textures from the air, enriching his photographic portfolio.

Photographer Gregor Sailer opens the exhibition with "Cockaigne"—an ancient word meaning "land flowing with milk and honey"—to showcase humanity's long-held dream: abundance of food. The invention of agriculture has brought the first steps towards prosperity and also revolutionized human nutrition. However, this exhibition does not look back but looks to the future, focusing on the transformation of future food production. It presents two systems: on one hand, highly diverse agricultural ecosystems requiring significant human input; on the other hand, automated agriculture controlled by artificial intelligence, employing standardized organisms and processes, and promising to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. How do we hope to shape future food production? After all, agriculture has never been wilderness; it has always been about transforming nature and natural processes, and altering ecosystems to meet human needs.

*Skin to Skin* is Sandra Mujinga's first solo museum exhibition in Austria. The Norwegian artist transformed the central gallery of Belvedere 21 with large-scale sculptures, sound, and reflective installations. Repetition became her artistic strategy for exploring visibility (or invisibility), community, and transformation.

The exhibition will feature over 200 photographic works, including his masterpieces such as *Stray Dog, Misawa* from 1971. It will also showcase approximately 250 reproductions of publications and rare audiovisual installations, providing a comprehensive view of Daido Moriyama's visual world and artistic practice.
