Insights into this year's program - from endless words to choral singing
Museum Folkwang is celebrating this year's summer festival for one evening with concerts, themed tours, artist talks and creative workshops in the special exhibition, the collection, in the salon and on the museum meadow on Kahrstraße. In the early evening, the whole family can look forward to a varied range of hands-on workshops and performances. Choirs, eloquent performances, bands and DJ sets provide a wide range of entertainment. The well-known Viennese band Endless Wellness will be performing on the museum meadow. Culinary delights will also be on offer: the bar of the Junge Kunstring Folkwang, the Edda restaurant and the museum's partner, the Bonnekamp Foundation, will provide visitors with a wide selection of food and drink.
