Akademie-Galerie Düsseldorf

In the page's words:

After a long period of preparation, the rooms of the future Akademie-Galerie were presented to the public on February 17, 2005. There was an extremely positive response among the guests present, who were visibly impressed by the layout, furnishings and architectural quality of the new gallery. An early work by Wilhelm Lehmbruck, who had studied at the Academy from 1902 to 1905, a "Badende" from 1905 (owned by the Academy) and a loan from private ownership of Paul Klee "Kommen herein" from 1937 were exhibited in the middle of the rooms for one day and emblematically pointed to the great history of the Academy and its professors as well as students. With the help of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the city of Düsseldorf, five beautiful room segments in the former building of the School of Arts and Crafts were prepared for museum purposes. Approximately 650 square meters are available for future activities, plus office and storage space. The location of the new institute at Burgplatz 1 is one of the most attractive in Düsseldorf's old town and should be suitable to interest and attract citizens and visitors of Düsseldorf.
