“Visitors should leave an exhibition with a feeling of being smarter rather than more educated.” This quotation by Walter Benjamin serves as a leitmotif for our museum’s educational work – because education is one of the core tasks of the museum. Interactive elements, guided tours and workshops help visitors learn from what they see in the museum. Encounters with originals, historical objects with cultural significance and outstanding works of art are what make a museum unique.
Accompanied by an art mediator, you can visit the exhibition #nichtmuedewerden - Felix Nussbaum und künstlerischer Widerstand heute (#nichtmuedewerden - Felix Nussbaum and artistic resistance today) in about 60-90 minutes on Saturday and Sunday at 2 pm on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Felix Nussbaum House. During the tours, there will be many interesting things to learn about the works, and of course, as always, there will be the opportunity to ask further questions.
Osnabrück is a city of peace. With our four museums in the Osnabrück Museum Quarter, we make a conscious decision to immerse ourselves in this tradition. We take inspiration from the city motto: “...where peace has a past and a future.” In our museums, we aim to use art to pursue the central question of our time: how can we live together in peace? We invite you to explore this question with us in the exhibitions and events at MQ4, to dare to try out experiments and consider new perspectives – and to talk to each other. The Osnabrück Museum Quarter should serve as both the city lab for peace and a people’s museum. We look forward to a lively exchange between visitors and artists at MQ4.
A socio-political museum – that would be one way of describing the Felix-Nussbaum-Haus at MQ4. The work of the Osnabrück painter Felix Nussbaum has a unique relevance to the project of the Museum Quarter in its role as a peace lab: they both deal with the Holocaust. Nussbaum’s paintings tackle the themes of escape, expulsion and war. They ask questions about cultural and religious identity – topics that are very much relevant to the present day and need to be addressed over and over again by society to ensure that we live in peace.
In temporary exhibitions, we focus on these topics, question Nussbaum’s work over and over again and bring it into dialogue with the work of contemporary artists. Designed by the American architect Daniel Libeskind, the building creates an intense spatial context for these discussions.
Nussbaum’s works, Libeskind’s architecture, temporary exhibitions and events such as the Yiddish music series, as well as readings and conversations with people who have lived through history, make the Felix-Nussbaum-Haus a museum with a decidedly peace-oriented attitude: standing against oppression and violence and, at the same time, advocating human dignity, reconciliation and peaceful coexistence.
