Fridericianum

In the location's words:

The Fridericianum, founded in 1779, is one of the oldest public museums in the world. Since 1988, it has functioned as a prestigious art gallery of international importance. On an exhibition area of more than 2000 square meters, the museum presents a diverse selection of contemporary art - from new talents to established artists. Following the directors Veit Loers (1987-1995), René Block (1997-2006), Rein Wolfs (2008-2013) and Susanne Pfeffer (2013-2017), Moritz Wesseler has headed the Fridericianum since November 2018. His program focuses on artists who have not yet achieved institutional visibility in Germany, as well as on important historical positions that are being brought back into focus.

The exhibitions are complemented by a comprehensive education and outreach program that is closely linked to the respective themes of the current show. These offers are aimed at a wide audience of different age groups and interests as well as art experts.

In addition, a varied program of events ensures that the Fridericianum remains a lively place of exchange about contemporary culture. As part of the "FF - Live at the Fridericianum" series, the museum regularly invites international artists to take part in discussions, performances, film screenings and other events.
