Attractive far beyond the borders of Westphalia: the LWL Museum of Art and Culture in Münster is an important regional identity builder. Between the Middle Ages and the contemporary avant-garde, visitors can immerse themselves in the world of art and experience the "magic of the original" live. The extensive art education and cultural programme also continually opens up new perspectives on art and cultural history for visitors.
The building is also impressive: the new building with its sandstone façades on all four sides fits in perfectly with the Münster cityscape and conveys openness in all directions - also through the large glass façades. Spacious and at the same time clearly arranged, the interior leaves enough space to indulge in art without losing the overview.
The exhibitions at the LWL Museum of Art and Culture have been delighting visitors since the museum opened. Renowned artists, unusual perspectives and special cultural experiences are what make the museum so appealing. The temporary exhibitions specialise in one theme and leave no guest untouched.
The museum's own collections alone would be worth a visit. Works from the Cremer Collection, the paintings of the Münster painter family tom Ring and exceptional modern art are just a few examples of outstanding art. The museum brings together a total of 1,000 years of art from the early Middle Ages to the present. In total, the collection comprises over 350,000 paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings and graphics, coins and objects as well as 135,000 books.

Every two years, the Münsterland Festival presents music and art at great venues in Münsterland. The extensive programme is not only to be found in the region's large event halls, but also at special, often somewhat smaller venues - for example, castles and palaces, buildings with modern architecture and places with history. The musical focus is on jazz, pop, traditional and classical music and is complemented by exhibitions, dialogue events and excursions.
PART 12 WITH GUEST COUNTRY FINLAND - 6 OCTOBER TO 5 NOVEMBER 2023
For the twelfth edition, the guests come from the European North: Finland is the focus of the Münsterland Festival part 12, bringing music, art and culture to Münsterland in autumn 2023.
The Finnish artists will tour the entire region and invite visitors to discover their music and art at special locations in Münsterland. Guests include well-known faces such as Iiro Rantala, Finland's best-known jazz pianist, as well as exciting up-and-coming musicians such as Antti Paalanen on the accordion or Elia Lombardini with his violin.
In addition to the musical highlights, many other formats are planned that focus on the culture and way of life of the Finnish guests. So this year the Münsterland Festival will once again offer the opportunity not only to experience cultural Finland, but also to get to know Münsterland in a new or different way. The first programme items have already been fixed, the complete programme will be published in summer 2023.
Die Preise variieren je nach Veranstaltung.
"Juniper" - A musical diary
With outstanding saxophone playing, Linda Fredriksson stands out in the Finnish jazz landscape. Fredriksson has a versatile and unique style that spans all genres and makes every performance special. At the Münsterland Festival, Linda Fredriksson will perform on the opening evening at the LWL Museum of Art and Culture. In her luggage: the solo project "Juniper" - an honest, personal singer-songwriter album, performed by an instrumental jazz band.
The album is a beautiful meditation on personal feelings and private experiences, composed of sound images created over several years: Fredriksson composed the songs primarily on guitar, keyboard and vocals, later rearranging them. "Juniper" is a world of its own and Fredriksson describes the process as one of chosen isolation: "It's a world for me and a place of solitude in the midst of all the chaos. A cosy bubble to linger in."
Fredriksson, known for virtuoso alto and baritone saxophone playing, this time also performs on bass clarinet, guitar, drums, synthesizer and with recordings of background noise. The audience can look forward to a very personal, top-class musical diary.
