August-Macke-Haus

The August Macke House is an art museum in Bonn's Nordstadt district and displays the former home and workplace of an Expressionist painter. The building combines the original residential structure with a modern extension that provides additional exhibition spaces and facilities.

The house served as the home and studio of painter August Macke from 1911 to 1914, where he created significant works. It was transformed into a museum in 1991 and expanded with a modern addition in 2017.

The house displays works by Rhineland Expressionists and connects artistic traditions from the early 1900s with contemporary approaches to art. Visitors can see how the art movement shaped the region and continues to influence local artistic practice.

The museum is open several days per week with varying hours depending on the day. Guided tours are available at regular intervals and help visitors navigate the different exhibition areas.

The museum operates independently and funds itself through admission fees and private donations rather than government support. This approach to funding allows the institution to shape its programming freely without public influence.
