The permanent exhibition takes you on a journey through over 200 years of art and history with stops at various locations between the Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean. Wroclaw, Gdansk, Königsberg and Prague, for example - important chapters of European history took place here, but art history was also written here. Far away from the cities, artists sought relaxation and leisure in nature. They found inspiration in the picturesque Italian countryside and on the Baltic coast.
The timeline takes you on a detour to the "Golden Twenties" and the time of the Iron Curtain. The juxtaposition of works by German, Czech, Russian and Polish artists shows that the exchange between East and West remained alive even during the division of Europe.
The tour ends where it began: in the domed hall of the Art Nouveau building. It brings together works by a number of artists who have been awarded the Lovis Corinth Prize, including Katharina Sieverding, Markus Lüpertz and Daniel Spoerri.
