A prestigious collection of sculptures, drawings, wood carvings, lithographs, letters and manuscripts from Ernst Barlach.
The Ernst Barlach Museum in Wedel is the birthplace of the German sculptor, medallist, writer and draughtsman, which was opened for exhibitions in August 1987. The house has a representative collection of sculptures, woodcuts, lithographs, drawings, manuscripts and letters by Ernst Barlach.
The museum in Wedel sees itself as a lively place for the examination of art and culture from classical modernism to the present. Regular special exhibitions use historical as well as current themes, so that the representation not only presents nationally important German artists together with their collections, but also international art. In this way, the Ernst Barlach Museum in Wedel actively participates in intercultural dialogue.
