Discovering Treasures at MMK Passau – an invitation to a pleasurable art experience
At the Museum of Modern Art – Wörlen in Passau, an atmospherically dense exhibition world unfolds: masterpieces from the in-house collection meet precise curation. The tour leads through expression and silence, through color, line, and light – an aesthetic experience that makes the exhibition atmosphere tangibly palpable.
Collection with Profile: Expressionism, New Objectivity, and Contemporary Art
The presentation showcases the character-forming core of the collection: over 1500 works by Georg Philipp Wörlen, as well as works by his companions from the artist groups Der Fels and Donau-Wald-Gruppe. Delicate, sometimes colored drawings by Alfred Kubin and Otto Modersohn stand alongside exquisite graphics by Franz von Stuck, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Paula Deppe, and Egon Schiele. Room by room, art historical depth unfolds – from classical modernism to contemporary positions.
Art Observation with Meaning: Material, Gesture, Spatial Effect
The curation orchestrates contrasts: The Mannequin-Migofs by Bernard Schultze set plastic accents, graphic sheets by Dieter Roth and Emil Schumacher emphasize material poetry, while photographs by Evelyn Hofer and Gudrun Kemsa sharpen perception. The observation of works oscillates between color and form, surface and structure – a sensually intellectual art experience.
Regional Resonance and International Names
Alongside icons such as Max Bill, Antoni Tàpies, Günther Uecker, and Fritz Wotruba, artists from the region engage in dialogue. The Donau-Wald-Gruppe presents images of women, animal and landscape representations that make commonality and individual handwriting equally visible. This creates a narrative of the collection that integrates Passau's art history into European contexts.
Cultural Education: Orientation and Depth
Short wall texts, clear groups of works, and a logically structured course promote cultural education. Guided tours and workshops of the house deepen art-scientific perspectives and strengthen the aesthetic experience – ideal for a conscious viewing experience between painting, graphics, sculpture, and installation.
