Conception

In contrast to museums, the Kunsthalle does not have its own art collection, but rather organizes several changing exhibitions every year . The spectrum ranges from prehistory and early history to the present day . Border areas of art, prehistoric and non-European as well as interdisciplinary topics are shown, e.g. B. Maharaja: Splendor of the Indian Princely Courts (2010) or Orientalism in Europe: From Delacroix to Kandinsky (2011). The focus is on exhibitions of old masters such as Venice - painting of the 18th century , Madame de Pompadour , Italian still lifes or Frans Hals and Haarlem's masters of the golden age , up to classical modernism , including Chagall , Gauguin , Alberto Giacometti , Kirchner , Magritte , Monet , Munch , Nolde , Picasso or Mark Rothko . But also contemporary, for example loop - everything at the beginning or back to the figure - painting of the present , has a permanent place in the art gallery. In 2015 the exhibition house showed fashion design with Jean Paul Gaultier for the first time . From the sidewalk to the catwalk .

The most successful exhibitions in recent years have included a. Claude Monet and Modernism (237,000 visitors), Folkwang : First Museum of Modern Art (236,000 visitors), Jean Paul Gaultier (213,000), Pompeii: Life on the Volcano (190,000 visitors) and Mark Rothko (139,000 visitors). The art gallery has an average of around 350,000 visitors a year.
