    The Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg, Germany, is a notable institution dedicated to modern and contemporary sculpture. It houses an impressive collection of works by Wilhelm Lehmbruck, the renowned German sculptor, as well as other significant 20th and 21st-century artists. The museum's architecture, featuring a blend of glass, concrete, and open spaces, complements the artworks and provides an excellent backdrop for viewing sculptures.

    Visitors often praise the museum's well-curated exhibits and the quality of the pieces on display. The spacious galleries allow for an immersive experience, giving each sculpture room to breathe and be appreciated from various angles. The museum's focus on Lehmbruck's work provides a comprehensive look at the artist's evolution and his impact on modern sculpture.

    In addition to the permanent collection, the museum hosts temporary exhibitions that showcase diverse contemporary artists, keeping the experience fresh for repeat visitors. The outdoor sculpture garden is another highlight, offering a pleasant area to explore art in a natural setting.

    While many visitors find the museum engaging and informative, some note that the interpretive materials could be more extensive, particularly for international visitors who may not be as familiar with Lehmbruck's work or the context of German expressionist sculpture. Additionally, a few visitors mention that the museum might feel somewhat specialized for those not particularly interested in sculpture as an art form.

    Overall, the Lehmbruck Museum offers a high-quality, focused experience for art enthusiasts, particularly those interested in sculpture. Its combination of a significant permanent collection, rotating exhibits, and thoughtful architectural design makes it a valuable cultural institution in the Ruhr area.

    Sinds 10 maart mogen in Duitsland musea weer open mits het R-getal onder een bepaalde waarde is. Ik mocht mijn cultuurhonger stillen. Het werd het Wilhelm Lehmbruckmuseum in Duisburg omdat daar een mooie overzichtsexpositie loopt van Stephan Balkenhol. Fascinerend hoe Balkenhol uit een boomstam een sculptuur haalt. In feite doet hij wat Michelangelo zei over een blok marmer ‘het beeld zit er al in, ik hoef het er alleen maar uit te halen’. Dat doet Stephan met een boomstam. Hij zaagt en schuurt net zo lang totdat er een figuur uit de kern tevoorschijn komt. Dieren, maar zeer zeker ook mensen, die staan centraal in zijn werk. Soms en verhulde maatschappelijke boodschap zoals zijn piëta van wee mannen. Die trouwens niet in Duisburg te zien was. Wel veel ander werk., waaronder mensfiguren met een dierenkop zoals een muizenechtpaar in pak en jurk. Het werkt vervreemdend en sprookjesachtig. Zijn beelden zijn veelal verstild, een beetje geheimzinnig en vaak ontdaan van emoties. Hoewel ik in de blik van zijn luipaardsculptuur een zekere droefheid zag, alsof het beest treurt om de ondergang van de jungle. Het is uiteindelijk de schijnbare onaantastbaarheid in Balkenhols beelden die blijft je fascineren. Het museum bewaart ook de nalatenschap van Wilhelm lehmbruck naast een aantal andere beroemde werken in de vaste collectie zoals Käthe Kollwitz, hans Arp, Alexander Calder om maar wat te noemen. Dus al met al genoeg reden het museum te bezoeken. (Balkenhol is nog te zien tot 24 mei, tijdslot reserveren is verplicht).
