Kunstmuseum Mülheim an der Ruhr

EIN HAUS – DREI SAMMLUNGEN

Im Kunstmuseum Mülheim an der Ruhr eröffnen sich den Besucher*innen auf drei Etagen mit insgesamt 1.200 m² Ausstellungsfläche Raumeinheiten mit unterschiedlichen Temperamenten. In wechselnden Ausstellungen stellt das Museum Künstler*innen und Themen der Sammlung, aus Stadt und Region sowie zur klassischen Moderne und zur zeitgenössischen Kunst vor.

The collection includes prints by giants such as Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol and features works by regional artists such as Arthur Kaufmann, Otto Pankok and Dorothee Golz. The reopening promises a spectrum of artistic masterpieces that stimulate the senses and arouse curiosity.

In addition to the expressionist works in the city's collection, the collection of Nobel Prize-winning chemist Karl Ziegler and his wife Maria is particularly fascinating. Franz Marc's abstract animal portraits, Emil Nolde's powerful floral motifs and August Macke's dreamy landscape watercolours create a visual intoxication of colour. Otto Dix's sensitive portrait of an infant and Lyonel Feininger's simple sailboat compositions reflect the unadulterated "joy of beauty". This collection invites you to experience the works beyond art historical conventions with a fresh perspective.

The commitment of Mülheim collector Dr Karl G. Themel makes the museum an Eldorado for friends of the socially critical Berlin artist Heinrich Zille. His powerful pieces offer an authentic reflection of social issues and complement the wide variety of art objects in the museum.
