Sculpture Museum Prof. Wandschneider
The Prof. Wandschneider sculpture museum in the town of Plau am See has existed since 1994 and documents the life and work of the Plau sculptor Wilhelm Wandschneider (1866–1942). Until it was incorporated into the Plau am See castle museum, the facility was the smallest independent museum in Mecklenburg .
history
The association “Prof. Wall cutter “e. V. aimed to honor the artist and honorary citizen of Plau Wilhelm Wandschneider with a permanent exhibition. In the current rectory on Kirchplatz, the small museum with just one exhibition room was re-established in early June 1994. This was done at a historical site, because the old "Wandschneider Museum", founded in 1926, had its home here from 1928 until it was closed in 1947.
In April 2014 the exhibition moved to the renovated and enlarged castle museum of the city of Plau am See. This means that the exhibition is open to a wider public with extended opening times. With the move, the association had fulfilled its statutory purpose. The association was dissolved in March 2015.
Exhibits
At the opening in 1994 approx. Ten original sculptures, e.g. Some of them are shown on permanent loan, there are now around 30, including pieces from more than 40 years of artistic creativity.
