Curator-led tours: "KOMM RUNTER" exhibition
A signed chicken egg by André Thomkins meets a silver spoon that artist Burkhart Beyerle has pierced with a hole. Deprived of their function of food intake, the duo is hardly suitable for everyday use – in the castle's basement, however, they bear witness to the idiosyncratic and fascinating collection of the Stiftung Museum Schloss Moyland. A collection full of surprises, curiosities, gems, and classics of art history.
The presentation leads through various chapters of the collection's history. On display are works from the period of passionate collecting by the brothers Hans (1929–2002) and Franz Joseph (1933–2020) van der Grinten, whose commitment laid the foundation for today's museum. This includes, for example, the Beuys portrait Mona Schwana, which Jörg Immendorff created in 1965 of his teacher – and sold to him at the time for 200 DM.
Between famous names and surprising finds, a journey of discovery through the museum's holdings unfolds. From the bust of French writer Victor Hugo by sculptor Auguste Rodin to a life-size white porcelain mouse: let yourself be inspired by the diversity of the Moyland collection through a selection of around seventy works. It holds exciting things in store, far beyond its focus on the work of Joseph Beuys.
Cost: €4 per person, reduced €3*.
