To enjoy the 20th- and 21st-century works at a relaxed pace, we recommend setting aside between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This will allow you to appreciate Fluxus and Expressionism without rushing.
Museum Ostwall is an international reference point for modern and contemporary art, especially renowned for its Fluxus collections, among the largest in Europe, and for Expressionism. It is the perfect place to see works by artists such as Joseph Beuys and Wolf Vostell and to understand the German avant-garde.
To avoid crowds, we suggest going on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning. If you prefer a more evening-like cultural atmosphere, Thursday afternoons between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. are ideal and are usually less crowded than weekends.
