Kunst-Museum Ahlen

The Kunst-Museum Ahlen is an art museum housed in a renovated 19th century villa with a modern extension added in 1996. The building contains around 1,500 artworks by 200 different artists displayed across its galleries.

The museum opened in 1993 when collector Theodor F. Leifeld transformed a former private residence into a public art space. A modern wing was added in 1996 to provide additional exhibition areas.

The collection includes paintings and sculptures by well-known artists from different periods and movements. Visitors see how these diverse styles are arranged together in the gallery rooms.

The museum opens on weekday afternoons and weekend mornings for visits. You should check the current hours before planning your visit as they may change seasonally.

The collection emphasizes artworks exploring the theme of light and includes significant pieces from German concrete art created after World War II. This particular artistic movement is rarely featured in museums, making this focus quite special.
