[vc_row type=”vc_default” gap=”35″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]After a long period of closure and intensive construction work, the K\u00e4the Kollwitz Museum has been open to visitors again since 5 July. It was an eventful opening weekend that was characterised by art, exchange and the connection to the Charlottenburg neighbourhood.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]A special highlight was the start of the special exhibition with Jan Kollwitz, who had brought his impressive ceramic works from his workshop in Cismar to Berlin. As the great-grandson of K\u00e4the Kollwitz, he had the honour of inaugurating the new exhibition rooms in the theatre building. Together with our supporting association, the circle of friends, sponsors, our construction planners, numerous representatives of the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation and the Cultural Foundation of the Federal States, we celebrated the reopening of the museum on Friday, 4 July with the best weather, a good atmosphere and delicious finger food. It was a great pleasure for us to welcome so many guests on a magical summer evening.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”13599″ img_size=”full” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Together with neighbours, artists and young voices from the neighbourhood, we brought life back to the museum. In addition to our regular printing workshop, this special day also offered a modelling workshop at the Kollwitz sculpture, musical contributions from the Acappella Choir of the ASB Kita am Schlosspark and an artist talk with Vanessa Cardui – and inspired people to engage with art in a variety of ways.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_media_grid element_width=”6″ css=”” grid_id=”vc_gid:1753176388083-b735c1dd-05f1-1″ include=”13591,13585,13589,13587″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner disable_element=”yes”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”13591″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_single_image image=”13589″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”13587″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” css=””][vc_single_image image=”13585″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”link_image” css=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_column_text css=””]The new start was a complete success and whets the appetite for more – for further special exhibitions, events and shared moments in the K\u00e4the Kollwitz Museum.
