Art path people traces

The MenschenSpuren art path is a sculpture path with works by 11 artists in the Neandertal and begins directly at the Neanderthal Museum . He takes on the tension between human and nature.

The Kunstweg is in the open and public space and is therefore accessible at all times. For each sculpture that was created especially for the project, there is a column with the name of the sculpture, the name of the artist and several audio connections for headphones through which interviews with the artists can be heard.

The project was developed by Volker Friedrich Marten in collaboration with the Neanderthal Museum Foundation and implemented in 2002 with the Mettmann district as the sponsor of the project.
