Felix Nussbaum Haus

The Felix Nussbaum Haus is an art museum in Osnabrück that displays approximately 160 paintings by a Jewish artist, including works from before the war, during his exile, and recently discovered pieces. The building comprises three connected sections, each representing different periods of his creative life.

Architect Daniel Libeskind designed the building in 1998 to preserve the artistic legacy of the painter, who died in Auschwitz in 1944. The museum was established after many of his works were rediscovered.

The museum bears the artist's name and honors his memory through its layout and displayed works. Walking through, you notice how the building itself tells a story about displacement and survival.

The museum is open Tuesday through Friday starting at 11:00 and on weekends from 10:00 onward. The building is wheelchair accessible and easy to navigate on foot.

A concrete section called Nussbaum Gang recreates the confined space in Brussels where the artist created his final works while hiding from persecution. This space gives visitors a direct sense of the difficult conditions under which he worked.
