Focus on the current exhibitions
The public tours offer a compact insight into the content and background of the exhibitions. Key works, artistic positions and biographical contexts are discussed. The guided tours take place alternately with museum educator Cornelia Maser and Beatrice Dumitrescu from the Kunstmuseum Singen.

The current exhibitions paint a multifaceted picture of classical modernism on the Höri - and its artistic traces right up to the present day. The focus is on the major survey exhibition "Man soll kein Worpswede aus der Gegend machen", which sheds light on the work of classical modernist artists on the Höri. A special exhibition is dedicated to the artist couple Walter Herzger and Gertraud Herzger-von Harlessem, who also belonged to the inner circle of "Höri artists". The program is complemented by the intervention "Véronique Verdet. Masses. Borders. Territories", the granddaughter of the artist couple.
