An afternoon full of inspiring encounters. This time, we will take a joint look at the history of the Kunstpalast. When were the buildings in the Ehrenhof constructed? How did the diversity of the collection come about? In this special series, the focus is not only on art-historical background, but also on shared exchange and personal impressions. In dialogue with the group, selected artworks and artists will be presented.

After the guided tour, we invite you to continue the conversations in a relaxed atmosphere over coffee and cake.
The price includes one slice of cake and a non-alcoholic beverage 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.

Typical motifs in still lifes are flowers, fruits, and vessels, but also everyday objects that are artfully arranged and often have symbolic meaning. The appeal of these works of art lies above all in slowing down the gaze and rediscovering the beauty of everyday life. What do the pictures tell us about their time, about human values, and about transience? In the Kunstpalast collection, we discover works from different centuries.

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 Grumpy Guide knows everything – and, above all, he knows it better than the visitors, which he is more than happy to make them feel. He is irritable, bored and arrogantly superior.
By his own account, Joseph Langelinck is a descendant of a former director of the Düsseldorf gallery of paintings. He harbours a particular resentment towards certain artists and works that would never have found their way into the collection under his rightful leadership – but above all towards the visitors and their woeful ignorance.

From Rubens to Richter to razors: the Kunstpalast brings together almost all artistic genres and a wide range of eras. Discover the diversity of our collection on this 90-minute tour, which presents selected works, content and concepts.

Wir laden Persönlichkeiten aus Düsseldorf und Umgebung ein, um ihren besonderen Blick auf die Sammlung des Kunstpalastes zu teilen. Im gemeinsamen Rundgang mit dem Künstler Simon Ertel werden ausgewählte Werke besprochen, Anekdoten geteilt und neue Perspektiven eröffnet.

Marcus Stahl ist Unternehmer, Vater von zwei Kindern und Gründer der Toniebox – einem Hörspielwürfel, der nicht nur in unzähligen Kinderzimmern, sondern auch im Kunstpalast mit der Rhino-Tour regelmäßig zum Einsatz kommt. Die Sammlung des Museums ist ihm gut bekannt, doch entdeckt er immer wieder Neues – dieses Mal im Dialog mit Simon Ertel beim Düsseldoppel.

Picture frames are important for the overall impression of the picture. They direct the eye, set accents, create boundaries and are evidence of style, zeitgeist or artistic attitude. It was not uncommon for the painters themselves to design the frames for their works.

This tour of our collection takes you on a journey from early picture frames to Expressionism. Take a closer look and focus on the art of framing.

Stoffe tragen Erinnerungen: das Gefühl auf der Haut, die Muster aus der Kindheit. Wir entdecken Kunst und Mode in der Sammlungsschau Alles Kunst?! – gewebt, genäht, designt, geschneidert, und bedruckt. Dabei tauschen wir uns über unsere Erinnerungen aus. Anschließend werden wir selbst kreativ. Welche Bilder können wir aus Stoffresten gestalten?
