Nolde Museum Seebüll, Art museum in Seebüll, Germany
The Nolde Museum Seebüll is an art museum housed in a Bauhaus brick building on the North Sea coast, displaying works by German expressionist Emil Nolde. The collection spans paintings, watercolors, and prints arranged across multiple exhibition spaces.
Emil and Ada Nolde purchased land in Seebüll in 1926 and built their home along with a studio for his artistic work. The museum was later founded to make his works accessible to the public and preserve his artistic legacy.
The Bauhaus building itself is experienced as an artwork today, with its clean lines reflecting the connection to the surrounding landscape that Nolde captured in many of his works. The space shows how closely tied together were the artist, his home, and the North German nature.
The museum can be reached on foot through flat North German terrain and offers visitors parking on site. The interior spaces are well signposted, so visitors can explore the exhibitions without difficulty.
Emil Nolde's living quarters are still preserved and can be visited within the museum, complete with personal belongings and furniture from his time. This gives visitors a direct sense of how the artist lived and spent his daily life.
