If you are not a great art connoisseur, the Osthaus Museum is also the right place for you: The museum attaches great importance to making the meaning of art understandable not only to experts, but to everyone. The focus here is on the visitors. Art from classical modernism to contemporary positions is an experience in numerous special exhibitions. You can marvel at over 1.000 works of painting, almost 800 statues and sculptures, and around 250 art objects here. For children, teenagers, and the young at heart, the "Young Museum" - part of the Osthaus Museum - offers art related to current topics and everyday events. You will therefore find mainly contemporary and modern art there.
As an outpost of the Osthaus Museum, the "Museum of the Hagen Impulse" in the Hohenhof in Hagen provides an overview of the history of the Folkwang Museum founder Karl Ernst Osthaus. One of Germany's most important art patrons and collectors comes from the Ruhr metropolis. Thanks to his passion for art, we can now proudly say that one of the most important art collections of modern art was founded in Hagen and is still located in the Ruhr area today. During his lifetime, Osthaus was friends with the Belgian artist and designer Henry van de Velde. He turned the Osthaus family's villa into a total work of art in the Art Nouveau style: furniture, curtains, wall decorations, cutlery and crockery - everything is subject to the overall concept and was designed and made especially for the villa. So if you are interested in a wild mix of architecture, art and history, this is an incomparable property for you.
The interactions between the exhibitions in the Museum Ostwall and the Emil Schumacher Museum make your visit to the Museumsquartier a unique art experience. The latter is one of the most important museums of modern and contemporary art in the Ruhr area and an absolute highlight for the art fans among you! It is dedicated to the pioneering role of its namesake, who was one of the most important painters of the late 20th century, and is considered a center for research into expressive painting after 1945. The exhibition program of the Emil Schumacher Museum presents him and his works in the context of parallel international developments in art and his temporal environment. So if you want to find out more about the life and work of the Hagen artist and his influence on other artists, you should not miss a visit to the Emil Schumacher Museum!
