Art Museum Mülheim in Ruhr
Reaching back to nineteen hundred and nine, the museum of art in Mühlheim, Kunstmuseum Mülheim an der Ruhr, exhibits expressionistic paintings and international graphics.
The collection of the institution was rehoused in the impressive and listed building of the old post office, Alte Post, located in the town centre next to the so-called media house, Medienhaus.
The famous collection containing fascinating etchings and lithographs of the Berlin sketcher Heinrich Zille was donated by Karl Themel. A second donation by Karl and Maria Ziegler presents impressive expressionist paintings on canvas and paper.
