The Kunstmuseum Mülheim an der Ruhr unites three collections under its roof. With its focus on paintings and prints, the Städtische Sammlung (City Collection) is exemplary at showing the development of art in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It goes from classic modernism to the constructivist, art informel forms of the post-war era, all the way to contemporary positions. Thanks to a gift from the Mülheim physician Dr. Karl Gotthelf Themel, the Kunstmuseum also has the largest collection of Heinrich Zille’s works outside of Berlin. The first-rate Sammlung Ziegler (Ziegler Collection) concentrates on German expressionism, and contains paintings and works on paper by Franz Marc, August Macke, and Emil Nolde, as well as the “Bauhaus” artists Paul Klee and Lyonel Feininger.
The exhibition will open on April 30, 2025 at 4 p.m. and will run from May 1 to September 17, 2025. The exhibition venue is the foyer of the Ruhr-West University of Applied Sciences, Parkstadt Mülheim, Wissolstraße 19
As part of its educational programme, the art museum offers art courses for children, young people and adults under the guidance of experienced art mediators, artists and art educators in the workrooms of the Mülheim an der Ruhr art museum as well as at the two external locations
The Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences and the Kunstmuseum cooperate on a permanent basis - a joint exhibition space at the Parkstadt Mülheim site opens in the summer semester.
