Düsseldorf · Summer 2026

Pieces of art are hidden in this city.

Artists from all over the world make small works inspired by Düsseldorf. Each one is preserved in a small glass cube and left somewhere in the city. Whoever finds one, keeps it and can leave a message as its new owner. On October 10, everything here is frozen in time.

Each piece in the studio, and - on hover - the spot where it was left. Open one for the whole story.


The map

Where they were left.

Eight pieces, eight corners of the city. Tap a pin to open the piece.


Made

By artists all over the world

Each piece is a small original work inspired by Düsseldorf - painted, drawn, printed, or crafted - about the size of a business card, sealed in a small glass cube.

Hidden

Somewhere in the city

The pieces are left in public places across Düsseldorf, waiting. The map shows where they were left - whether they're still there is down to luck.

Yours

If you find one, keep it

Scan the code on the piece and, if you like, leave a message as its new owner. After October 10, all messages are sealed here forever.


Updates

Follow the pieces.

Leave your email and we'll write when the pieces are hidden, when they're found, and when the archive is sealed. A handful of emails, then silence.
