Lange Nacht der Museen

75 participating museums and 750 events await Berlin culture night owls on the night of August 24. The Kollwitz Museum is also opening its doors between 6 p.m. and midnight in addition to its usual opening hours and is offering a varied program under this year’s motto “Berlin Secrets”.

Meet Animal sculptor August Gaul

The INTERVENTION format, which was successfully launched last year, will be continued in 2024 – this year’s motto is “Kollwitz meets colleagues”.

From July 14, to October 6, 2024 we will be showing animal sculptures by the sculptor August Gaul (1869-1921), with whom Käthe Kollwitz maintained a collegial relationship for many years and also turned to him for advice regarding her own sculptural works: “Today […] Gaul was in the studio and looked at my work at my request. Gave me some good practical advice. Was really nice as always.” (Diary from Nov 21, 1916)
