A museum in the middle of the water: the Weserburg is one of the most striking buildings for modern and contemporary art in Germany - spacious, versatile and characterized by architecture that combines history and the present.
The Weserburg is located on a peninsula in the Weser and uses several former warehouse buildings that have been converted into an extensive museum ensemble. Their industrial structure - brick, steel, high rooms - lends the exhibition spaces a special atmosphere and makes the location ideal for large installations, conceptual works or unusual formats.
On several floors, the museum presents changing solo and group exhibitions covering a broad spectrum of modern art: abstract positions, painting, photography, video and sound installations, conceptual art and interdisciplinary works. The Weserburg attaches great importance to constantly opening up new perspectives on contemporary art - with bold curatorial decisions and an internationally oriented program.
A special feature of the museum is the Center for Artists' Publications, an important European collection that includes artists' books, magazines, multiples, audio works and digital formats. This area makes the Weserburg not only a museum, but also a research and archive location that shows how diverse artistic forms of publication can be. The location also adds to the appeal of the visit: between the water, the warehouse architecture and the view of the old town, an urban yet tranquil place is created where art and the urban landscape form a unique connection.
Visitors to the Weserburg experience contemporary art in all its facets - experimental, contemporary, open to new ideas and always in dialog with its special surroundings.
