Pablo Picasso Art Museum Münster

Opened in 2000, the Pablo Picasso Münster Art Museum is Germany's first and so far only Picasso museum. Behind listed facades in the middle of Münster's old town, the museum shows changing special exhibitions on Pablo Picasso and his fellow classical modern artists such as Georges Braque, Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall. The foundation of Münster's Picasso collection is a globally unique collection of around 800 Picasso lithographs.

Top class special exhibitions

The museum regularly presents impressive special exhibitions with exceptional loans from international museums. During the public guided tours, you have the chance to gain new insights into the work of the great artist. We also regularly inform you about special exhibitions on our Twitter channel and calendar of events.

Tip: If arriving by car, use the Aegidii multi-storey car park. From there it is only a few steps to the museum. The distance from Münster main station to the museum is approx. 10 minutes.

Nudes. Art from the TATE, London

LWL Museum for Art and Culture, Münster
Organiser: LWL-Museum für Kunst und Kultur
Exhibition

The nude is a timeless art motif that fascinates, outrages, excites and inspires through its diversity and possibilities of representation. In the exhibition, ways of interpreting the nude and its art-historical development from the 19th to the 21st century are illuminated. Themes such as the male gaze on the female body and the question of gender and identity are addressed. The works from Tate London are presented in groups, ranging from historical depictions of the nude to politically charged and fragile representations. They are complemented by works by artists such as Edvard Munch and August Macke from the Münster collection.

MünsterMatineen Nature - just the next hype?

Studio Stage, Münster
Stage

The MünsterMatineen bring high-calibre speakers to the studiobühne who deal with topics of our time in changing constellations. The series starts on 17 December with the topic "Nature - just the next hype? In the climate debate, it is often overlooked that nature is not only a fantastic ecosystem that we need to preserve, but that nature is also in control of completely different things:

It is an intelligence system in its own right, helps us increase our resilience and fascinates us with its majesty and health-giving effects. These facets are the focus of the morning. A small French breakfast (coffee + croissant) provides the right start to the day, which is best spent with friends, relatives and acquaintances in the best pre-Christmas season.

Your speakers all belong to the RedCarpetSpeaker ensemble and have been in the speaking business for many years. You can look forward to 120 entertaining, inspiring and informative minutes (including a break) that outline the motto of the MünsterMatineen: Zeitgeist - Zukunft - Persönlichkeit.

The small breakfast is ready for you from 10.30h, but can also be moved during the break.

Virtuosos ahead - foreigners in! Migrants from Europe determined the incomparably rich musical scene of the 18th century capital: London. But it would not have existed without the professionals from the continent, musicians and composers - opulent operas, a myriad of new compositions that printers and publishers pounced on, dozens of public concerts and house concerts every day. With playfulness and imagination, Max Volbers and Alexander von Heißen bring a dazzling facet of the musical metropolis to life with "Foreign Masters".

Handel from Halle was the most influential English composer, his opera arias were pop on the island. In the King's Theatre orchestra, under George Frideric Handel's direction, the oboist Sammartini from Italy made a name for himself; his compositions were considered original and fiery. Adapted by Haym, Londoner by choice from Italy, A. Scarlatti's "Pyrrhus and Demetrius" was the second most successful opera in the kingdom at the time. Corelli and Alberti, who never set foot on English soil, were made stars by resourceful music publishers in the cosmopolitan city. At the same time, the recorder came into fashion as a "gentleman's flute", the instrument of wealthy aficionados and connoisseurs who performed for guests in private. Jacques Paisible/James Pesible, one of the greatest recorder players of the time, had also helped his instrument to reach English heights.

Max Volbers will receive an OPUS Klassik in 2023; among other prizes, he was awarded the GWK Prize in 2013. He performs internationally and teaches at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and at the Mozarteum Salzburg, where he studied with Dorothee Oberlinger, Walter van Hauwe, Reinhard Goebel and Florian Birsak. Alexander von Heißen, among others winner of the 23rd Int. Bach Competition Leipzig and OPUS Klassik Prize Winner 2018 (with 4 Times Baroque), teaches at the colleges in Cologne, Münster and in Frankfurt, where he also studied with Eva Maria Pollerus and Jesper Christensen. He pursues a busy concert schedule and has recorded numerous CDs.

Synergies create unity - according to this concept, the Paplo Picasso Art Museum combines art with culinary delights. The bistro stay at Monsieur P can be combined with a visit to the Picasso Museum and its changing exhibitions on Picasso and his artist friends Miró, Matisse, Chagall and Braque. The varied menu at Monsieur P combines French cuisine with regional and seasonal specialities and offers vegetarian and vegan dishes as well as fish and meat.

Our colleague Victoria has often walked past the Picasso Museum. But she had not been inside for a long time. Now she has finally visited it and reports about it on the MünsterlandBlog. To learn as much as possible, she took part in one of the regular public tours.
