Special Exhibition "Overland to New York"

At a glance

On 21 October 2023, the unique special exhibition "Overland to New York: 4 Ural Motorcycles - 43,000 Kilometres - 972 Breakdowns" will open its doors in Augustusburg Castle. The monumental Renaissance castle, located in the centre of the 2025 Capital of Culture region, is the ideal setting for this unique exhibition project.

Discover the ultimate adventure in the new special exhibition "Overland to New York: 4 Ural Motorcycles - 43.000 km - 972 Breakdowns"! Five artists of leavinghomefunction without motorbike experience venture on an extraordinary journey through the big, wide world - across three continents. Climb into their sidecars and be chauffeured through Europe, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia to the Far East of Russia, through Alaska, Canada to New York.

In 14 themed rooms on 700 square metres, breathtaking sceneries between pothole and cabinet of curiosities await you. Let an explosion model of the Ural sidecar motorbike show you the mechanics and the fascinating detail work. And the absolute highlight: Our 360-degree multimedia show takes you on our Ural mega-raft to sail down the Kolyma River in Russia's Far East. You will literally feel the taste of endless taiga and dusty corrugated iron roads - including the thrill of motorbike towing, endless kilometres and black fingers!

Your kids can cruise through the exhibition on motorbike scooters or on the backs of camels, fill an Adventure Pass with stamps and discover the animals from along the way.

Your journey begins on 21 October 2023 at Augustusburg Castle near Chemnitz. Be part of the adventure that will stay with you for a long time. Unique, interactive, with all your senses!
