The Musical Klee
- Exhibition
- 22.2.2025–1.6.2025
- Fokus Room
Paul Klee is distinguished by his twin talents as an artist and a musician. As a young man already, he played the violin in the city orchestra, and it was difficult for him to make the decision between music and art.
He chose visual art because in that field he saw more opportunities to create something completely new. In his works he transposed musical aspects such as rhythm, melody and polyphony into art, and also taught this at the Bauhaus. Even today many pieces are composed on the basis of his works. The Fokus exhibition addresses this cross-fertilisation.
Fokus. The Musical Klee is part of the permanent exhibition Kosmos Klee.
The permanent exhibition Kosmos Klee. The Collection offers visitors a chronological overview of Klee's artistic oeuvre and presents around seventy works as well as biographical material and archive items, which are regularly changed.
Smaller focus exhibitions with a thematic reference to Paul Klee and his work are shown in one room at a time.
