    140 min. *The Light of the Quince Tree* Spain 1992. Dir.: Victor Erice. Starring: Antonio López García, María Moreno. 133 min. DCP. Original version with English subtitles. Film Series: Victor Erice Four years ago, the painter Antonio López planted a quince tree in the garden of his home in Madrid. Now—it is the year 1990—he wants to paint it, specifically to capture the distinctive autumn light that filters through the leaves onto the fruit. To do so, he measures the tree with the utmost precision. But the weather between late September and December isn’t cooperating, and because of the rain, López even has to set up a plastic tent over himself and the tree so he can still paint.

What is Frankfurt's Museumsufer?

Frankfurt's Museumsufer (Museum Embankment) unites around 40 museums along both banks of the Main between Eiserner Steg and Friedensbrücke — one of the densest museum districts in Europe. Major institutions such as the Städel Museum, Senckenberg Nature Museum, Schirn Kunsthalle, Liebieghaus and the Historical Museum Frankfurt are just a few minutes' walk from each other. The range spans Old Masters and natural history to film, contemporary photography and applied art. This app collects all current exhibitions and events daily — not only from the official Museumsufer museums, but also from additional Frankfurt museums and exhibition venues. Everything on a single, searchable page with prices, calendar export and public transport connections via RMV.

Why this app?

Frankfurt has over 40 museums — and they deserve a better overview than the one they got. This app pulls exhibitions and events from every museum into one fast, searchable page. No app store, no account, no fuss.

How does the app handle my data?

When you enable distance sorting, your location is rounded to a grid (~200 m) and sent to the RMV API to estimate travel times — your exact position is never stored or shared. No personal data is collected.

How do push notifications work?
