Freiburg's Augustiner Museum (Augustinian Museum) collection includes precious treasures from
the Middle Ages to the present day including works by paintings by Lucas Cranach,
as well as original sculpture and stained-glass windows from the Cathedral, to
mention but a few. The Museum am Dom (Museum at the Cathedral) of the Würzburg
Diocese takes a different approach and displays works by contemporary,
internationally acclaimed artists juxtaposed with masters of the Romanesque,
Gothic and Baroque Periods. Important art treasures from more than 1000 years
of history of the archbishopric of Mainz are to be seen in the Dom- und Diozösanmuseum (Cathedral
and Diocesan Museum).
For those interested specifically in the Baroque period, the Deutsche
Barockgalerie (German Baroque Gallery) in Augsburg contains works of
German Old Masters, among them Hans Holbein the Elder, Lucas Cranach and
Albrecht Dürer.
The Rheinmuseum (Rhine Museum) in Koblenz exhibits paintings and
sculptures from 12th to 20th centuries. Paintings of the 19th and 20th
centuries are found at the "Staatsgalerie in der Kunsthalle Augsburg" (State Gallery in the Augsburg Art Hall),
including modern masters like Max Beckmann and Paul Klee. Freiburg's "Museum
für Neue Kunst" (Museum of Modern Art) exhibits works of the 20th century by
Arp, Baumeister, Dix, Heckel, Hofer, Macke and other protagonists of modern
art.In Münster, the Graphikmuseum Pablo Picasso (Pablo Picasso Graphics Museum), the first Picasso Museum
in Germany, offers a collection of over 780 lithographs. Münster is home to an
exhibit of modern sculpture "Skulpturprojekte" (Sculpture Projects) with outdoor installations
throughout the city.
The Felix Nussbaum Haus (Felix Nussbaum House) in Osnabrück is named after the artist Felix
Nussbaum, who was born in Osnabrück in 1904 and murdered in Auschwitz in 1944.
The house bearing his name was built according to plans drawn up by Daniel
Libeskind, and the creative tension between architecture and painting has given
rise to spaces admonishing us not to forget the fate of Europe's Jews during
the Holocaust.
