City Museum Lindau
.jpg)
The Lindau City Museum was located in the baroque town house Zum Cavazzen on the market square on the island of Lindau (Lake Constance) . The building has been extensively renovated since 2018. The collection of exhibits significant for the city's history is currently closed and will be completely redesigned and redesigned over the next few years.
The special exhibitions on modern art are shown in the new art museum at Inselbahnhof ( Maximilianstrasse 52). Works by Friedensreich Hundertwasser are on display there until September 29, 2019 .
As a municipal institution, the museum - like the city theater - is subordinate to the Lindau Cultural Office . The director is Barbara Reil.
history
The Haus zum Cavazzen (formerly also Kawatzen ) was built in 1729 and 1730 for the wealthy Seutter family by the Appenzell architect Jakob Grubenmann on the western market square, after a large part of the houses around the market square fell victim to a devastating fire in 1728. Grubenmann also created the plans for the construction of the neighboring house at Zum Baumgarten .
The later owner Ludwig Kick donated the house to the city of Lindau in 1929 for the purpose of setting up a local museum in the building. The opening was celebrated on July 19, 1930. Before that, the Municipal Museum had been housed in the upper floor of the Old Town Hall since 1890. The creation of the first local museum is due to the museum association founded in 1889 under its director Gustav Reinwald, a Protestant pastor.
Until a new concept under the head of the Department of Culture Alexander Warmbrunn, who took office in 2010, mainly works from the early modern period with a regional reference were exhibited. After 2010, however, exhibitions of international standing could be put together (see below).
In November 2015, the federal government pledged support of EUR 8.6 million for a comprehensive renovation and redesign.
Exhibitions
Permanent exhibition
The museum showed paintings and sculptures from the 15th to the 19th century, Lindau home decor with furniture from Gothic to Art Nouveau, handicrafts, documents on the city's history, historical toys and mechanical musical instruments. The highlights of the exhibition were the late Gothic panel painting Lindau Lamentation from 1420 and a Madonna statue from the Multscher workshop . Also worth mentioning are two particularly well-preserved death tablets from the 17th century, which were previously set up in the historic Aeschach cemetery. It was a winged epitaph from the Bertsch family (around 1650) and one from the Krenckel family (around 1690). Both showed pictures of a confrontation with sin and death in the Reformation understanding, but also scenes of the encounter between man and death, as they are known from the dance of death in the strict sense.
Special exhibitions
The special exhibitions were shown in the city museum in the Haus zum Cavazzen until 2018 (including works by Pablo Picasso , Marc Chagall and Joan Mirós under curator Roland Doschka ). In 2019 the first exhibition was opened in the new art museum at Inselbahnhof.
