A new room by Erwin Bechtold at the MKM
In honor of his 100th birthday, the MKM is presenting a new room with works by Erwin Bechtold in the permanent exhibition of the Ströher Collection. Until the end of May 2026, 60 works will be on display – 48 of which are new permanent loans. The room previously housed works by Gerhard Hoehme, which will be on display as part of a major solo exhibition at the MKM from February 2026.
The 21×21 exhibition is open!
To mark their 15th anniversary, the 21 RuhrKunstMuseen are staging a joint exhibition at Villa Hügel in 2025. Highlights of modern and contemporary art from their collections will be presented – a reflection of the diverse museum landscape of the Ruhr region, which is characterized by industrial culture.
