Art Meets Literature

Please note: This tour will be held in German.
Elisabeth Jerichau-Baumann was a successful artist and dynamic businesswoman. She supported her family with her art and built up a network throughout Europe. In her memoirs, she recounts her experiences and her time in Warsaw and Düsseldorf. At the beginning of the event, actress Julia Dillmann will read passages from the memoirs, accompanied by violinist Klara Gronet, before visitors can get to know Jerichau-Baumann’s artworks in the exhibition “Women Artists! From Monjé to Münter” during the subsequent guided tour.

The event is a collaboration between the Kunstpalast Düsseldorf and the Polish Institute Düsseldorf as part of Polish Freedom Weekend 2025.
