The summer exhibition curated by Verena Hein and Oliver Kase showcases over 50 works from artists such as Francis Bacon, Georg Baselitz, Max Beckmann, Joseph Beuys, Sheila Hicks, Asger Jorn, Anselm Kiefer, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Maria Lassnig, Inge Mahn, Henry Moore, A.R. Penck, Pablo Picasso, Judith Reigl, Gerhard Richter, Rosemarie Trockel, and Andy Warhol, addressing democratic core values like freedom, self-determination, and human dignity. This exhibition juxtaposes masterpieces from the Bavarian State Painting Collections, ranging from classical modernism to contemporary art, with site-specific works.

The exhibition reflects on the constitutional convention that took place in Herrenchiemsee in August 1948, which laid the foundation for the German constitution. An additional exhibition titled "Der Wille zu Freiheit und Demokratie" is dedicated to this event and is hosted in the Old Palace.
