Art Collection
The museum's eclectic art collections span an impressive timeline from the 12th century up to the current era. Notably, the Classical Modernism collection, encompassing the world's most comprehensive works by Expressionist Alexej von Jawlensky, is a standout feature. Additionally, pieces from the "Blue Rider" and the "Bridge" movements are represented, offering a comprehensive insight into German Expressionism.
Post-1945, the museum evolves to exhibit European and American modernism, featuring prominent examples of abstract painting, minimal art, and conceptual art. A unique connection between art and nature is found in the Art Nouveau collection of Ferdinand Wolfgang Neess—one of the most significant of its time.
This institution, rooted in civic engagement since its inception in the 19th century, serves as a lively hub for art and nature enthusiasts. The Friends of the Museum association, active for 30 years, is one of the largest in Germany. It encourages children and young people under 18 to enjoy free admission, and its initiatives like free Saturday admissions and educational programs nurture interest in these areas.
