Museum Folkwang

In the location's words:

The Folkwang idea, coined by Karl Ernst Osthaus at the beginning of the 20th century, comprises three central guidelines: the dialog between the arts and cultures, the museum as a place of exchange and cultural education, and the unity of art and life. Conscious of its own museum and collection history, the Museum Folkwang continues this idea into the present and future: we see ourselves as a museum that combines emotion and spirit, warmth and humanism, that is regionally anchored and internationally oriented, that focuses on people and art in all its diversity and is committed to new and sustainable developments. A museum that not only unites the arts with each other, but also people with the arts.
