KOLLWITZ NEU SEHEN

Reopening of the Käthe Kollwitz Museum Cologne

October 11, 2025 – March 15, 2026

After nearly three years of extensive renovation, the Käthe Kollwitz Museum Cologne will reopen its doors on October 11, 2025 — a year that marks both the 80th anniversary of the artist’s death (1867–1945) and the museum’s 40th anniversary. The reopening exhibition, KOLLWITZ NEU SEHEN (KOLLWITZ SEEN ANEW), presents a new display of selected drawings, prints, and sculptures from the museum’s internationally acclaimed collection. Newly acquired works enhance the exhibition and offer fresh perspectives on the artist’s body of work.

At the heart of the show are themes that preoccupied Kollwitz throughout her life and remain relevant today: social inequality, political upheaval, gender roles, and the live of women in difficult times. The exhibition deliberately emphasizes the artist’s female perspective — exploring motherhood, loss, grief, but also hope and solidarity.

Additionally, the museum will introduce expanded spaces for educational programs. Its address is also changing: what was once the “Neumarkt Passage” will now be known as the “Kollwitz Forum” — a clear statement of the artist’s lasting influence and importance.
