Lehmbruck Museum

Duisburg, Germany

Lehmbruck Museum is devoted for Wilhelm Lehmbruck (1881-1919) and his sculptures make up a large part of its collection. However, the museum has a substantial amount of works by other 20th-century sculptors, including Ernst Barlach, Käthe Kollwitz, Ludwig Kasper, Hermann Blumenthal, Alexander Archipenko, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Henri Laurens, Jacques Lipchitz, Alexander Rodtschenko, Laszlo Péri, Naum Gabo, Antoine Pevsner, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalíand Max Ernst. This is complemented by a considerable number of paintings by 19th- and 20th-century German artists. The museum circulates its substantial collection by re-installing works on an annual basis.

Very interesting museum. For me mostly for the temporary Gormley expo

Pauline Depière (3 years ago)
Beautiful building and interesting collection of sculptures over a century. They look to the future as much as documenting the work of Lehmbruck. Definitely worth spending an hour or more.

Maybe worth seeing, but the tours do are rather boring tbh

Museum is interactive, come on scheduled days that museum is free and only requires voluntary donations.

It’s ok. If you love Modern Art then you might like it, otherwise it was underwhelming. Clean bathrooms

House of Blackheads

House of the Blackheads (Melngalvju nams) is a building situated in the old town of Riga. The original building was erected during the first third of the 14th century for the Brotherhood of Blackheads, a guild for unmarried German merchants in Riga. Major works were done in the years 1580 and 1886, adding most of the ornaments.

The structure was bombed to a ruin by the Germans June 28, 1941 and the remains demolished by the Soviets in 1948. The current reconstruction was erected from 1995 to 1999. Today the House of Blackheads serves as a museum and sometimes concert hall.
