Kunstmuseum Bonn

With one of the internationally most important collections of German art, the Kunstmuseum – based on the seminal inventory of works by August Macke – disposes over a collection profile that is unparalleled throughout the country. What is more, its relevance has been steadily growing over the past decades. In this development, one of the special features of Bonn’s collecting policies has been to refrain from attempts to document German art with a claim to encyclopedic scope, but rather concentrate on a manageable number of eminent artists, and then purchase from them entire groups of works and ensembles.
