Horst Janssen Museum, Art museum in Oldenburg, Germany
The Horst Janssen Museum houses an extensive collection of works by the northern German artist, featuring drawings, etchings, lithographs, and wood engravings. The galleries display a broad selection of pieces representing different phases and techniques throughout his artistic career.
The artist created his works over several decades, leaving behind a significant body of graphic art that was later collected and made accessible to the public. The institution was established to preserve this collection and safeguard the artist's legacy for future generations.
The museum maintains a specialized library containing 25,000 volumes about Janssen, printmaking techniques, and contemporary graphic arts.
The museum shares its entrance with another museum in the same building, making a combined visit practical. Visitors should check opening hours in advance and be prepared for galleries spread across multiple levels.
The collection is regularly rotated to show visitors different works while protecting the delicate original pieces from overexposure. This rotation means each visit can reveal different works and allow viewers to discover new artistic pieces.
