On Wednesday, March 26, the 1st year MFA cohort visited the Kunstverein Leverkusen and Schloss Morsbroich Museum. Many German cities and towns have their own Kunstverein or local art club. Members pay a small annual fee to be a part of the Kunstverein, and have access to art shows and discounted art releases. We were received at the Kunstverein by curator Susanne Wedewer Pampus – we were shown the current exhibition by the art duo Michelle Héon and Gilles Morissette.

After enjoying the current exhibition, we went on a nature walk through the grounds, enjoying the birds, flowers, and outdoor sculptures. After the nature walk, we entered the Museum Morsbroich to view the exhibition of photographer and video artist Eric Lanz. A unique aspect of the Museum Morsbroich is that they keep their collection openly accessible. The public can view the collection and request works be pulled out and put on view!
