Fantastic Modernist Museum to spend a few hours walking around. We really enjoyed all the paintings and statues. It was great to walk around the local park, checking out all the works of art there.

Great space with friendly staff, they asked me if I wanted to see how the artwork was made and they turned it on. Great art and space for breathing.

Have been to many art museums, this one ranks very high. Great selection of works, loved the Lehmbruck wing. I was just so annoyed with the non-existent entrance direction signs. It is a very large building, so you go around and around, the only sign had a wrong direction. And local people did not know. So, I am adding to my post the map with both entrances.

Very nice museum with an exceptionally friendly staff dedicated to modern and contemporary sculpture.

Wilhelm Lehmbruck (Jan 4, 1881 - Mar 25, 1919) An extremely talented German sculptor, draftsman, painter, printmaker known for his beautiful abstractions of elongated human sculptures. I discovered Lehmbruck's remarkable body of work during research of Mies van der Rohe's Krefeld Villas and Villa Tugendhat where he reveals moments of transition as he studies architecture's beauty by assimilating the presence of modern sculpture, notably Lehmbruck's Torso/girl turning, in both villas (caveat: "Dawn", by Georg Kolbe via Barcelona Pavilion). Here, Mies showcased his close friend Wilhelm's talented work...a naturalist and abstract expressionist. His work is very distinct, dignified, personal, exquisite. Both Mies and Wilhelm shared the common interest in the sacred form and philosophy of architecture. Notably, Wilhelm's son, architect Manfred Lehmbruck designed the museum's stunning villa quarter low concrete edifice silhouetted with curved openings, showcase glass cubes and skylight windows/openings allowing natural light to perfectly articulate Wilhelm's sculptures from any directional view. In my humble opinion, the architecture and sculpture brilliantly share physical space, tenets of form, scale and material, hence, breathtaking uncompressed beauty leaving visitors spiritually embraced by both forms of three-dimensional art. There is much to learn. Highly endorse.
