There are numerous works of art in public spaces throughout the city. These include monuments and memorials, building-related works of art (so-called "Kunst am Bau") such as frescoes, inlays, stained glass windows or concrete reliefs; fountains with square designs are also included, as are site-specific or free sculptural works made of bronze or stone.
Around 230 works are owned by the city of Mülheim an der Ruhr, i.e. the city commissioned the work or the work of art became its property, for example through a donation. These works are listed in an online directory. Works of art that no longer exist are also included. In this way, a contribution is made to the documentation of the history of the city.
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

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.
