The Museum Insel Hombroich is an art museum located in Neuss - Holzheim . 'Broich' is not spoken with 'oi', but rather the 'o' is stretched through the 'i' so that it can be spoken as Brooch. It is characterized by free-standing exhibition pavilions and restored buildings, which are located in a renatured park and meadow landscape on the north bank of the Erft . Based on Paul Cézanne , the museum has the motto “Art parallel to nature”. Together with the Hombroich missile station , it is supported by the Insel Hombroich Foundation.
Art, architecture and nature
The Düsseldorf art collector Karl-Heinrich Müller acquired the island of Hombroich, an overgrown park on the Erft , in 1982 and began to realize his concept in collaboration with several visual artists: to present his art collection in decentralized exhibition pavilions and in dialogue with the surrounding nature.
Müller got the Düsseldorf sculptor Erwin Heerich to plan the building . In the first construction phase, an orangery, the Graubner Pavilion and the Hohe Galerie were built in the historic park .
In 1984, Müller acquired another, larger area. The landscape architect Bernhard Korte recultivated the area into a landscape with parks , meadows and terraces.
Here, in addition to other objects set up in the green, ten “walk-in sculptural architectures” designed by Erwin Heerich and executed by the Düsseldorf architect Hermann H. Müller, such as the labyrinth , the tower , the Tadeusz pavilion , the snail , and the twelve-rooms -House as well as the cafeteria and the ticket office.
Some of these buildings house Karl-Heinrich Müller's art collection, including works by Hans Arp , Alexander Calder , Paul Cézanne , Eduardo Chillida , Lovis Corinth , Jean Fautrier , Alberto Giacometti , Yves Klein , Gustav Klimt , Henri Matisse , Francis Picabia , Rembrandt van Rijn , Kurt Schwitters , Khmer art and works of art from early China .
The Düsseldorf painter Gotthard Graubner not only advised Karl-Heinrich Müller on the construction of the collection, but also developed a special exhibition concept: In contrast to current museum practice, the exhibits are not arranged chronologically or according to style, rather Graubner has a dialogue between traditional ones in the various pavilions Asian and modern European art - in the labyrinth , for example, sculptures from early China stand in front of abstract color images from the 20th century. Explanatory notes are generally dispensed with everywhere, so that visitors can intuitively engage with the works of art without being guided by didactic comments.
The visual artists Anatol Herzfeld , Erwin Heerich and Gotthard Graubner own or have had studios on the museum grounds .
In April 2016, a sculpture hall was opened on the site of the Hombroich rocket station , which the artist Thomas Schütte designed himself and had it built for himself. The hall is used exclusively for the exhibition of third-party works and for storing one's own sculptures.
