Gelsenkirchen Art Museum

The museum contains exhibits from the late nineteenth century to present day, including classical modernism works and a collection of 3,000 prints and drawings.

The museum's collection started in the 1920s but suffered losses during World War II, with approximately 200 works confiscated during the Nazi regime.

The museum maintains the largest municipal collection of kinetic art in Germany, featuring over 80 international works that demonstrate motion and movement principles.

Located at Horster Strasse 5-7, the museum offers free admission Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 18:00, making art accessible to all visitors.

A glass bridge connects the 1984 modern building designed by Albert E. Wittig to the historic Villa Pöppinghaus, creating an architectural blend of periods.
