Museum Jerke, Modern Polish art museum in Recklinghausen, Germany
The Jerke Museum displays over 600 exhibits across 400 square meters of exhibition space in a three-story building with gray-blue granite facades.
Werner Jerke moved from Upper Silesia to Germany in 1981 and began collecting Polish art during his medical studies in Bonn before opening the museum.
The museum exhibits works from notable Polish artists including Katarzyna Kobro, Władysław Strzemiński, and Wilhelm Sasnal, connecting German audiences with Polish modern art.
Located at Johannes-Janssen-Strasse 7, the museum charges 5 euros for adults, offers guided tours by appointment, and maintains regular exhibition hours throughout the year.
This institution stands as the first museum outside Poland dedicated exclusively to modern Polish art, featuring pieces from the 1920s avant-garde movement and post-1960 modernism.
