This article aims to look at the World Heritage Site from the perspective of curatorial studies and aesthetic philosophy. The Darmstadt Artists' Colony made an enormous contribution to art and formed a bridge between the British Arts & Crafts movement and the German Association of Craftsmen, which eventually led to the Bauhaus movement. The last Grand Duke of Hesse and the Rhine was not only a patron who founded this Artists' Colony, but also a prominent curator together with the Austrian architect and one of the founders of the Vienna Secession, Joseph Maria Olbrich. Together they combined economic development with artistic innovation. The establishment of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony was a sensation in the art world. It marked the beginning of the 20th century, turning everyday life into an aesthetic experience.
