Collection
Besides the lifework of Wilhelm Lehmbruck the collection of international sculpture and modern object art represents the centrepiece of the museum's collection. It is complemented by sections on painting, graphics, photography and new media.
From today’s perspective, Ernst Barlach (1870-1938) and Wilhelm Lehmbruck (1881-1919) can be described as the most important German sculptors of the Classical Modern age. Wilhelm Lehmbruck’s lifework is a national cultural treasure of international significance. In addition it forms the historical foundation, the artistic benchmark and conceptual perspective of the international collection of Modern sculpture in Duisburg to the present day.
