Kunstpalast Düsseldorf to Experience Revival in 2025
The Kunstpalast Duesseldorf is set to captivate visitors with a diverse array of exhibitions, offering something for everyone from art enthusiasts to casual observers.
From now until 5 January, the Peters-Messer collection takes centre stage in the socially critical exhibition "Too Much Future". The exhibit features a selection of thought-provoking pieces that delve into the complexities of our future.
Gerhard Richter's never-before-seen images are also on display, adding an exclusive touch to the Kunstpalast's lineup.
Elias Sime, an artist known only in specialist circles, will be exhibited from 5 February to 1 June 2025. Sime's large-scale reliefs, crafted from electronic waste and discarded everyday objects, promise a unique and thought-provoking experience.
For the younger art lovers, the "Small" exhibition, where primary school children will display their creativity, runs from 10 May to 9 June.
Felix Kraemer, General Director of the Kunstpalast Duesseldorf, attracted half a million visitors to the city museum at Ehrenhof in 2024, a record number. His efforts continue to pay off, with the Kunstpalast Duesseldorf promising a rich artistic journey for all.
Tony Cragg's sculptures are available for touching, offering visitors a tactile experience that adds a new dimension to the art.
The "Hidden Treasures" exhibition, which includes small images from Rhineland private collections, is highly recommended for a visit. Online ticket purchase is advised to avoid long wait times, and early entry is available on specific dates. The museum has extended its opening hours due to expected high visitor numbers towards the end.
The "Superheroes" exhibition at the NRW-Forum continues until May, with "Sex Now" announced for autumn, from 5 September 2025 to January 2026.
The "MAMA" exhibition, running from 12 March to 1 June, examines the mother image between the Virgin Mary and Chancellor Merkel. Curated by three young women, the exhibition features 120 works from various epochs of art history.
From 20 to 30 March, Duesseldorf florists will arrange suitable or provocative bouquets inspired by the masterpieces of the collection at the Kunstpalast Duesseldorf.
In September 2025, the exhibition "Women Artists! From Monjé to Münter" will shine a light on 31 female artists who worked in Düsseldorf between 1819 and 1919 but were excluded from the prestigious Düsseldorf Academy of Arts in the 19th century. This exhibition, curated by Kathrin Dubois, director of the Gemäldegalerie, will bring these previously forgotten artists to the forefront, highlighting their lives, works, and challenges.
Lastly, the "The Secret Power of Scents" exhibition will be held from October 2025 to May 2026, offering a unique sensory experience for visitors.
