Discover treasures. Works from the collection

Since its foundation in 1990, the Museum Moderner Kunst Wörlen has been in charge of the extensive art collection of the Wörlen Foundation, the core of which comprises more than 1,500 works by Georg Philipp Wörlen (1886-1954) and numerous works by his friends from the artist communities "Der Fels" and "Donau-Wald-Gruppe". From August 2022, the museum will present works exclusively from the collection on the first floor of the building for a longer period of time, in addition to some permanent loans - including three of the famous "Mannequin Migofs" by Bernard Schultze. On the one hand, the Wörlen Foundation's collection will be visible in the museum and its importance for the region will be brought to life; on the other hand, this will allow the public to encounter old familiar and beloved works as well as discover new treasures.

Delicate, partly coloured drawings by Alfred Kubin and Otto Modersohn with dedications to Georg Philipp Wörlen are on display, as are exquisite graphics by Franz von Stuck, Paula Deppe, Paula Modersohn-Becker and Egon Schiele. The artists of the "Danube Forest Group" are represented with paintings of women, animals and landscapes, which show their group affiliation in their choice of motifs and their individuality in their heterogeneous style.
