WORKSHOP
FOR ADULTS

Sat, 25/04/26, 3–6 pm

In this creative workshop, participants discover the modern technique of tape art and use adhesive tape to create fascinating works of art that captivate with their graphic clarity.

After an inspiring tour of the exhibition, where we will be inspired by the reduced forms and special lighting of the Weishaupt Collection, we will get creative together in the painting school. Using adhesive tape of different widths and colors, we will create our own compositions, which can range from small and elaborate to minimalist and simple. Working with adhesive tape allows for a unique form of deceleration and precision, leading to impressively clean results. It demonstrates in a special way how even simple lines can have a great visual impact.

In a relaxed atmosphere, we will create modern, unique pieces that play with structure and color.

Fee: 30 euros (including admission and materials)

Fully booked!

Yoga & Soundbath

Thu, 07/05/26, 7.30 pm

In the midst of the current exhibition, we invite you to a special encounter that blurs the boundaries between art appreciation and inner perception. Jessica Laus uses the vibrations of crystal singing bowls to guide you into a state of deep relaxation that helps your nervous system regain its balance and begin to regenerate. To help you truly let go, the session begins with short, gentle exercises to activate your system before you surrender completely to the sound and stretch out lying down. It is a conscious transition from thinking to pure perception, from everyday functioning to deep reception, supported by the atmosphere of artistic reduction. This creates the conditions for self-healing for the duration of the sound event and perhaps beyond!

Fee: 15 euros

To help you relax completely, you can leave all your equipment at home—we have everything ready for you.

Experience a musical tour at 12 noon with the School of Music in the Warendorf District, or take advantage of our family tours and creative hands-on activities from 2 to 6 p.m.

WORKSHOP
FOR ADULTS

Sat, 30/05/26, 3–6 pm

In this creative workshop, participants will explore the exciting interplay between spontaneity and structure and create unique works of art that captivate with their contrast.

After an inspiring tour of the exhibition, during which we’ll draw inspiration from the works on display, we’ll get to work together in the art studio. Using acrylic paint and a squeegee, we’ll first create impulsive color patterns and vibrant gradients through a dynamic dragging technique. In a second step, we’ll give this creative chaos a new form: the resulting areas of color will be cut into geometric shapes and rearranged. This creates a fascinating interplay of order and chaos.

This deliberate shift in techniques keeps us alert and curious throughout the creative process. A fascinating experience in which free, spontaneous gestures and the precise consideration of weight and proportions complement each other. In a relaxed atmosphere, we create modern, one-of-a-kind pieces that perfectly balance the tension between freedom and order!

Fee: 30 euros (including admission and materials)

On the passion
of collecting

Thu, 11/06/26, 19 Uhr

What motivates people to collect art? In our guided dialogue with collection curator Franziska Straubinger, M.A., through the current exhibition, we’ll explore these very questions. Join us on a personal journey through works of international contemporary art from after 1945 and discover how a spark of enthusiasm grew into an impressive life’s work. Together, we’ll discuss what happens when artworks move from private homes to a museum. We cordially invite you to pull back the curtain on art history, bring your own viewing habits to the table, and discover entirely new, personal perspectives on the works through shared conversation.

Fee: 12 euros
