In this themed tour, we focus on the varieties of abstraction. Impressionist artists had already begun to simplify, dissolve, or rearrange the visible world. Forms became areas of color, contours lost their sharpness, and light and mood took center stage rather than precise detail. This created an tension between representationalism and dissolution, a transition in which modern abstraction is already laid out.

A hundred years ago, the “ Große Ausstellung für Gesundheitspflege, soziale Fürsorge und Leibesübungen“ (GeSoLei) opened. The trade fair combined business, arts, and welfare and was also a mix of major sporting event and amusement parc. It was the biggest exhibition of the Weimar Republic, attracting 7.5 million visitors between May and October 1926. To this day, the Ehrenhof building complex, comprising of Tonhalle, Rheinterrasse, and Kunstpalast, defines the cityscape. Learn more about the GeSoLei at our Spot On exhibition. Experience a part of Düsseldorf’s architectural history and join the guided walk through the Ehrenhof.

The Black Archive Germany project collects the diverse forms of expression found in Black and African cultures, both within and outside their homelands, and brings their everyday lives in Germany to light. During this themed tour, we’ll discuss cultural identity, resilience and community!
What is it like to feel part of a scattered group? How can the beauty, depth and complexity of life as a minority in a foreign land be shown beyond common stereotypes?

Following the themed tour, there will be a talk with the artist Cate Laherty.

This tour focuses on the influence of Japanese art on French Impressionism. After the World’s Fairs in Vienna and Paris in the 1870s, a veritable Japan fever spread throughout Europe—in particular, the motifs and compositions of Japanese woodblock prints (ukiyo-e) influenced French Impressionists such as Monet, Renoir, and Bonnard.

The tour will be led by Nana Tazuke-Steiniger, M.A. Her research focuses on the history of collecting and exhibiting Japanese art in the 20th and 21st centuries, particularly in the context of foreign relations between Germany and Japan.

Late Romantic painting in Düsseldorf
Late Romantic painting in Düsseldorf developed in the 19th century around the Düsseldorf Art Academy and is characterized by a special combination of nature depiction, mood, and narrative elements. The artists created historical and landscape paintings that also convey emotional impressions and atmospheric moods. These works often open a window to one’s own memories and experiences in nature.

In addition to the art-historical background, this special series focuses on mutual exchange and personal impressions. Sometimes all it takes is a picture to start a conversation or bring back memories. Our experienced art educators guide you through the collection exhibition and introduce individual works of art or artists in dialogue with the group.

After the tour, we cordially invite you to continue the conversation in a cozy atmosphere over coffee and cake.

The price includes a slice of cake and a coffee, cappuccino, tea or soft drink of your choice.

This format is aimed at people who would like to enrich their everyday lives through new encounters and who are interested in art. No prior knowledge is required.

The history of the fragrance
In this special series, the focus lies not only on selected art-historical insights, but above all on shared exchange and personal perceptions. This time, we aim to evoke memories through the sense of smell.

On this short guided tour, we embark on a sensory journey through selected periods and artworks, guided by various scent stations. Natural essences derived from woods and resins point to long routes connecting Asia and Europe. They were used in religion, rituals, medicine, and personal care. Along the way, selected artworks also open up perspectives on trade and structures of power.

The tour invites you to look closely, consciously perceive, and share impressions with each other—and to experience art in a completely different, sensual way.

Düsseldorf as art center in the postwar period
In this special series, the focus lies not only on art-historical contexts, but also on shared exchange and personal impressions. Sometimes all it takes is a single artwork to spark a conversation or awaken memories.

This time, our topic is Düsseldorf as a hotspot of the art scene from the 1950s to the 1970s. The event explores the gallery scene and its key figures. We will discuss the influence of the ZERO artists as well as the experimental, sometimes quirky performances and exhibition actions of the era, in which art, everyday life, and provocation became closely intertwined. Special attention is given to the legendary underground club Creamcheese, once a central meeting place for an open and innovative art and cultural scene.

After the tour, we warmly invite you to continue the conversations in a relaxed atmosphere over coffee and cake.
