PRINTING WORKSHOP
12 am to 3 pm
Käthe Kollwitz not only drew pictures, she also printed them. In the printing workshop, visitors can discover the differences between relief, planographic and intaglio printing processes, supplemented by examples of Kollwitz’ pictures in the exhibition, which illustrate the expressive power of these visual languages. Afterwards, you will design and print your own motif.
On the first Sunday of every month, all generations are invited to try out the monthly changing printing techniques.
Upcoming date:

Self-guided tour with augmented reality
KOLLWITZ 2.0
11 am to 6 pm
Art meets augmented reality
The “Kollwitz 2.0” autumn holiday course focused on the fusion of virtual and real worlds. Based on the impressive drawings of the artist Käthe Kollwitz, eight young people intensively explored her works. They developed their own motifs for selected works of art, which they realised using analogue techniques such as drawing, photography and stop-motion.
With the help of augmented reality, these works were linked to the originals so that the designed elements appear as digital overlays in the exhibition.
To experience the artworks with augmented reality, download the free Artivive app.
You will find a flyer accompanying the tour at the ticket desk.
Kollwitz Sunday was initiated to maintain the popular format of the open print workshop even after the free Museum Sunday was cancelled.
The positive response from many interested museum visitors has reinforced our decision. Unfortunately, we can no longer offer these events free of charge due to the discontinuation of the previous funding for Museum Sundays.
However, we hope that the reduced admission price of 4 euros will continue to facilitate low-threshold access to our museum for everyone.
