LehmbruckMuseum

Stiftung Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum; Zentrum Internationaler Skulptur

Well known throughout Europe for its outstanding collection of modern international sculpture, this museum offers an unusual combination of exceptional architecture placed in a sculpture park, as well as sculpture sited within the urban environs.

Commencing with the life work of Wilhelm Lehmbruck and his contemporaries, the world of art encounters sculpture from all over the world in an exhibition space of 5000 square meters. Monographically and thematically grouped exhibition rooms are sequentially arranged in an open space. Paintings, works on paper and the new media complement the sculptural collection.

The goal of all museum activities is to convey a vivid impression of the quality, development and range of modern sculpture to visitors from all walks of life.

Besides the lifework of Wilhelm Lehmbruck the collection of international sculpture and modern object art represents the centrepiece of the museum’s collection. It is complemented by sections on painting, graphics, photography and new media.

The collection of the Lehmbruck Museum can also be continually expanded with important objects thanks to permanent loans, donations and the indispensable work of its circle of friends (Freundeskreis).

In this way, the internationally renowned collection of the Lehmbruck Museum that today has over 10,000 objects enables a unique insight into the history of modern sculpture and art. Join us on a tour of discovery – we look forward to meeting you!
