From 11 April: “21 x 21. the RuhrKunstMuseen on the hill”
The 21 RuhrKunstMuseen represent a unique urban museum landscape in Europe and present over 150 art exhibitions every year on 45,000 square metres in 16 cities in the Ruhr region. Founded as part of RUHR.2010 – European Capital of Culture, the network is realising a large-scale exhibition project to mark its 15th anniversary in spring 2025, bringing together the collections of the RuhrKunstMuseen in a joint show at Villa Hügel in Essen: Outstanding works from the diverse collections will enter into a dialogue that is as surprising as it is inspiring – the special exhibition will be put together entirely from the top-class art holdings of the museums in the region. The exhibition can be seen from 11 April to 27 July 2025 and offers a unique opportunity to get a comprehensive picture of the museum collections of the Ruhr region.
