> About the special exhibition
To build anticipation for a visit to the art exhibition “The 1920s as Reflected by Villingen’s Modernist Artists,” curator Dr. Anita Auer has published a blog post.
The post focuses on three fascinating women of that era whom the Villingen painter Waldemar Flaig met and portrayed in his distinctive style. Alongside many other works of art, these three portraits of women will be on display in the exhibition: Tatjana Barbakoff, Sonja Kogan, and Harriet Straub.
Even during the temporary closure of the Franciscan Museum, books and postcards from the museum shop are available via Click & Collect.
New to the selection are three postcards featuring portraits of women by the painter Waldemar Flaig, which are on display in the current exhibition “The 1920s as Reflected by Villingen’s Modernist Artists.” The postcards cost 1 euro each and are available by pre-order at the Tourist Information Office in the Franziskaner Cultural Center, phone 07721/822340, tourist-info@villingen-schwenningen.de.
Under the motto “Museums Inspire the Future,” the 44th International Museum Day will take place on May 16, 2021. The goal of this event is to draw attention to the thematic diversity of the more than 6,500 museums in Germany as well as museums worldwide. “With their broad spectrum, diverse offerings, and innovative ideas, museums make a major contribution to our cultural and social life,” states the German Museum Association (Deutscher Museumsbund e.V.).
The digital kick-off event will be hosted at the Berend Lehmann Museum in Halberstadt. Information on whether in-person events can take place alongside the digital formats by May 18 will be published on the event’s website at short notice.
The Sports Exhibition and the Watch Industry Museum are temporarily closed. Until they reopen, a 360° virtual tour can give you a first impression.
