Quadrat Bottrop

Quadrat Bottrop is an art museum in Bottrop that displays contemporary collections and rotating exhibitions across multiple gallery spaces. The building's geometric design creates a structured environment where visitors move through carefully arranged rooms dedicated to different artworks and themes.

The museum was founded after Josef Albers received honorary citizenship in 1970 and opened in 1976. It was strengthened by the donation of over 300 works from his estate, which became the foundation for understanding his artistic practice.

The museum displays Josef Albers' color studies and his 'Homage to the Square' series through rotating exhibitions that show his legacy as an artist and teacher. The collection connects his theoretical ideas about color and form with actual works that invite visitors to think about how colors interact.

The museum is located at Anni-Albers-Platz 1 and opens several days a week, making it easy for visitors to plan their visit. The exhibitions change regularly, so checking the current program before arriving helps you see what interests you most.

The building itself was designed as a spatial interpretation of Albers' artistic principles and functions as a three-dimensional artwork. As visitors move through the exhibitions, they experience how the architecture and the artworks share a common language.
