In 2015/16, jewelry artist Heidemarie Herb curated the travelling exhibition Amber Chamber, which featured works incorporating amber by both artists long familiar with the material and those for whom it was entirely new. The exhibition was showcased in Luxembourg, Poland, the United States, Italy, Lithuania, and Austria.
Artist list
Georg Dobler, Susanne Elstner, Slawomir Fijalkowski, Ieva Grigienė, Anna Heindl, Heidemarie Herb, Herman Hermsen, Margit Jäschke, Karina Kazlauskaité, Deimantė Kiesutė, Helfried Kodré, Namkyung Lee, Judy McCaig, Vita Pukštaitė-Bružė, Paulius Rukas, Peter Skubic, Peter Vermandere, Graziano Visintin, Barbara von Taeuffenbach
In 2025, Heidemarie Herb, together with Lithuanian curator Jurgita Ludavičienė, presents a second exhibition, Unexpected Amber: Strong Feelings, which brings together European and Lithuanian myths, once again confronting artists with amber. The exhibition features 19 jewelry artists from 8 countries—artists who have mastered working with amber, alongside those who have previously avoided it.
The exhibition started at the Palanga Amber Museum, a departament of the Lithuanian National Museum of Art, and will be now to see at Turnov from 21.05 to 27.09.2026.
Opening: 21.05.2026 5 pm.
Opening hours
