Museum für Aktuelle Kunst

Museum fuer Aktuelle Kunst is a contemporary art museum in Durbach housed in the upper floor of a hotel, displaying artworks created after 1945. The exhibitions span across several spaces and offer a broad overview of post-war German artistic developments.

The museum was founded in 2010 by collector Ruediger Hurrle, who had been gathering artworks since the 1960s. His decades of collecting German art from the postwar period formed the foundation for today's permanent exhibition.

The collection shows how artists in different German regions developed their own artistic paths after World War II through distinct local movements. Visitors can observe how these regional differences are expressed in the displayed works.

Access to the museum is through the hotel, and the exhibition is arranged on a single floor, making it easy to navigate. Visitors should note that the building is located in a wine town on the Rhine side and can be combined with other local attractions.

The exhibition spaces offer views of the Rhine Valley and surrounding landscape during a visit. This natural setting provides an interesting contrast with the displayed modern artworks.
