Love You For Infinit

Hannover is making a statement with a special cultural highlight. From September 6, 2025, to February 14, 2026, the Sprengel Museum will present the exhibition “Love You for Infinity,” in which Hannover’s honorary citizen Niki de Saint Phalle will be featured for the first time alongside two other giants of modern art: Yayoi Kusama and Takashi Murakami. The exhibition forms the centerpiece of a broader cultural program. After all, art is a natural part of public life in Hannover—complemented by a multitude of other significant museums and galleries.

The basis for this extraordinary exhibition is the donation of more than 400 works that Niki de Saint Phalle bequeathed to the Sprengel Museum in 2000. “Love You for Infinity” presents a colorful and multifaceted selection: from Saint Phalle’s iconic “Shooting Pictures” and her voluptuous “Nana” sculptures, to Kusama’s walk-in “Infinity Room,” and Murakami’s playful pop art wallpaper style.

The exhibition features around 120 works—including numerous large-scale pieces—spanning painting, sculpture, installation, graphic art, and film. Spread over an area of approximately 2,000 square meters, it guides visitors through thematically organized rooms such as “Love,” “Sexuality,” “Utopia,” and “Consumption.”

At the heart of the exhibition, visitors can get involved themselves: Inspired by letters from Niki de Saint Phalle, they can write their own love messages and send them out in collaboration with CITIPOST Hannover. In addition, tactile objects have been developed to provide barrier-free access to key motifs, particularly for blind and visually impaired individuals. In this way, the exhibition combines participatory elements with inclusive offerings and opens up different ways to engage with the themes of the show.

“With this exhibition, we’re bringing a flagship event to Hannover that’s accessible to all and delights visitors with a wealth of colorful sensory experiences. You can just let yourself be swept away by it,” said Dr. Reinhard Spieler, director of the Sprengel Museum.

As part of its 200th anniversary celebrations, enercity is the exclusive partner of the “Love You for Infinity” exhibition. The energy company, which has its roots in Hanover, is thus demonstrating its commitment to the city’s cultural scene.

Stay in style: Exhibition experience package

This exclusive package, priced at 209 EUR per person in a double room, includes one night’s stay at a 4-star hotel, a 3-course meal, the HannoverCard tourist, and tickets to the “Love You for Infinity” exhibition at the Sprengel Museum Hannover.

Experience Hanover, a City of Art and Culture

Visitors looking to experience even more art after a visit to the Sprengel Museum will find plenty to explore in Hanover. The city offers a diverse range of museums—each with its own distinct profile. The Kestner Gesellschaft, for example, serves as a forum for contemporary international art. The former swimming pools of the Goseriedebad host rotating exhibitions by both established and emerging artists. Currently, visitors can expect an exciting and multifaceted program there—ranging from video installations and participatory architecture projects to immersive works.

The Art Worlds at the State Museum in Hanover house paintings and sculptures spanning nine centuries.

The August Kestner Museum is a must-see for anyone interested in design and history. There, Egyptian antiquities, Roman artifacts, and medieval craftsmanship come together with modern design.

If you’re looking for a touch of humor, you should visit the Wilhelm Busch Museum. It’s idyllically situated in the Herrenhausen Gardens and is dedicated to satire, caricature, and critical graphic art. From September 26, 2025, to February 8, 2026, the exhibition “Max and Moritz – The Wild Boys in Pictures” will feature drawings, sketches, and more from Wilhelm Busch’s famous stories about mischievous boys

Hannover as an open-air gallery

Hannover is not only a paradise for museum lovers, but also a city where art shapes the public space. A rich array of public art can be found throughout its squares, parks, and building facades.

These sculptures are the highlight of the sculpture trail, which stretches from Friederikenplatz to Königsworther Platz—passing works by international artists. In Hannover, bus stops are also part of the city’s artistic landscape: artistically designed bus shelters can be found throughout the city. Graffiti, too, has been adding striking accents for years and reflects the creative diversity of the urban scene.

Special attention is given to the French artist Niki de Saint Phalle, who had close ties to Hanover. Her works continue to shape the city’s image to this day: the colorful, iconic Nana figures on the banks of the Leine have long since become a landmark. And in the Herrenhausen Gardens, the grotto she designed behind the austere Baroque façade opens up a luminous parallel universe full of color, mirror-like reflections, and fantasy.
