    (Translated by Google) Hermann Hesse Museum The Hermann Hesse Museum in Calw is not only an interesting museum about the Nobel Prize for Literature Hermann Hesse with permanent and special exhibitions, but also the historical city palace "Haus Schütz", the home of which he was born, is worth a visit because of its stay. (Original) Hermann Hesse Müzesi Calw'daki Hermann Hesse Müzesi, kalıcı ve özel sergilerle Nobel Edebiyat Ödülü Hermann Hesse hakkında ilginç bir müze olmasının yanı sıra, aynı zamanda doğduğu ev olan tarihi şehir sarayı "Haus Schütz" de konaklamasından dolayı görülmeye değer.

    The Kunstmuseum Bonn is fantastic for those who appreciate modern art, the collection is quite extensive and the space itself tells a story. I was fascinated with a piece called Icarus which is impossible to miss due to its enormous size and strategic placement, mostly because of how the artist played with the spectator's experience in relation to the surrounding and the point of view. Why do I give it 4 and not 5 stars? Because at first the staff was great: attentive, responsive and polite. When the closing time came closer, they became almost rude and insistent, for me if a space says it closes at 17h, up until that time I can be there, they clearly understand that the client needs to go out 15-20 minutes in advance and they will be the ones to leave the infrastructure at that closing time. So, my suggestion: visit this museum, just avoid being on their last group of visitors!

    (Translated by Google) My insider tip! If someone just wants to enjoy the architecture from the outside then I recommend going there on Monday otherwise there are a lot of tourists. (Original) Mein Geheimtipp! Wenn jemand will nur die Architektur von außen zu genießen dann empfehle ich am Montag dahin zu gehen sonst gibt viele Touristen.

    (Translated by Google) Art is in the eye of the beholder, but what we spend money on is incomprehensible to me. Should everyone decide for themselves. There are also works of art that deserve the name. (Original) Kunst liegt im Auge des Betrachters, aber wofür wir Geld ausgeben ist mir unbegreiflich. Soll jeder selber entscheiden. Es gibt dort auch Kunstwerke die den Namen verdient haben.

  • 3/5 V T. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) There are more museum guards here than visitors ... Many of the works were actually, well, a bit special. Two completely gray canvases ... a table in the middle of the room with a red tablecloth ... a line on white paper ..... 18 bricks on the canvas named "18 bricks" Let's put it this way, I was more enthusiastic about art collections in other art museums. (Original) Hier gibt's mehr Museumswächter als Besucher... Viele der Werke waren dann doch eher, naja, etwas speziell. Zwei komplett graue Leinwände..ein Tisch mitten im Raum mit roter Tischdecke ... Ein Strich auf weißem Papier..... 18 Ziegelsteine auf der Leinwand mit dem Namen "18 Ziegelsteine" Sagen wir Mal so, mich haben Kunstsammlungen in anderen Kunstmuseen mehr begeistert.

  • 4/5 Karl G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A small but fine selection of contemporary art. Seats make it easier for visitors to take the time they need for the challenging pictures. I think it would be good if the living artists said something about the picture themselves, voluntarily of course. The museum itself has a composition that makes the visit varied. (Original) Eine kleine aber feine Auswahl heutiger Kunst. Sitzplätze erleichtern es den Besuchern, sich für die anspruchsvollen Bilder die nötige Zeit zu lassen. Ich fände es gut, wenn die lebenden Künstler selbst etwas zum Bild sagen, natürlich freiwillig. Das Museum selbst hat eine Komposition, die den Besuch abwechslungsreich macht.

    Impressive contemporary building with an impeccable contemporary art collection. Temporary exhibitions are usually held here too. The latest one, called "Masks" is worth the visit

  • 5/5 Alex B. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent museum and on an incredibly beautiful campus. I'm not much into the modern art exhibit. The 'Flanéur' exhibit was awesome though. English and German descriptions.

  • 4/5 Martin M. 5 years ago on Google
    We saw the special exhibition "The Flaneur" it was great. Very good concept of hanging, creates lots of insights. Very well made audioguide. Unfortunately only available for the special exhibition. The permanent exhibition is also impressive. Maybe a bit "dry". Same with the restaurant. The food is nice. The service very friendly. The atmosphere is a bit like in a public swimming pool.

    (Translated by Google) Nice museum. Now in the Corona period, mouth-nose protection must be worn all over the museum. Cloakroom was free! (Original) Schönes Museum. Jetzt in der Corona Zeit muss im ganzen Museum die ganze Zeit Mund-Nasen-Schutz getragen werden. Garderobe war kostenlos!

  • 1/5 Julia & A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I didn’t like it at all. And it’s not even a matter of modern art, which is represented by torn shorts and shirts stretched over the canvas, or a dirty carpet, but by personnel who, at arm's length, walk everywhere behind you and breathe in your back, constantly making comments. For contemporary art, an atmosphere is needed that the museum’s prison orders completely kill. Such museums should be a thing of the past, since there are simply 0 interactions with the visitor. (Original) Вообще не понравилось. И дело даже не в современном искусстве, которое представлено рваными трусами и рубашками, натянутыми на холст, или грязной ковровой дорожкой, а в персонале, который на расстоянии вытянутой руки ходит везде за тобой и дышит тебе в спину, постоянно делая замечания. Для современного искусства нужна атмосфера, которую тюремные порядки музея напрочь убивают. Такие музеи должны уйти в прошлое, так как здесь просто 0 взаимодействия с посетителем.

  • 4/5 Claudius E. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting museum for contemporary ("modern") art and artists. Anyone looking for a large number of exhibits by artists with "big names" is wrong here. But it is precisely the discovery of not so familiar artists that makes the visit together with the lovingly arranged presentation of the individual works so attractive. (Original) Interessantes Museum für zeitgenössische ("moderne") Kunst und Künstler. Wer sehr viele Ausstellungsstücke von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern "mit großem Namen" sucht, ist hier falsch. Aber gerade das Entdecken nicht so geläufiger Künstler macht den Besuch zusammen mit der liebevoll arrangierten Präsentation der einzelnen Werke so reizvoll.

    (Translated by Google) Great interesting building, interesting exposition, good exhibitions. Very worth a visit, although it may depend on current exhibitions. We saw an excellent exhibition by Norbert Schwantkowski (definitely worth seeing) and also a good one by young German artists. Some of these "young", however, for 50 ... (Original) Отличное интересное здание, занятная экспозиция, хорошие выставки. Очень стоит посетить, хотя может зависеть от текущих выставок. Мы видели отличную выставку Норберта Швантковски (однозначно стоило увидеть) и тоже неплохую молодых немецких художников. Некоторым из этих "молодых", правда, за 50...

  • 2/5 Bartosz 4 years ago on Google
    Extremely child-unfriendly inside the museum. Kids of 3 are not allowed to move around without holding the hand of an adult (no matter how well behaved... Rule is a rule!). Kids are also not allowed to be carried on the shoulders of an adult either because as a parent I cannot see what the kid is doing with her hands... Again rule is a rule! As a consequence I levt the exhibit after 5 minutes only only to find a superb kids' atelier right outside the cashier to draw, paint and glue things for free. Come for the free play area for kids but visit a paid section of other more child-welcoming museums in Bonn

    (Translated by Google) Taste can be argued over. However, in order to be able to evaluate an art object in terms of taste at all, the artist has to deliver something. This certainly does not include total failures such as uniform gray areas on a rectangular canvas without any nuance or a table with a red tablecloth in the middle of the room without any reference. These performances, and there are currently some in the exhibition, offend in my opinion. rather human intelligence. I am writing this so that anyone interested can decide in advance whether they are sufficiently pain tolerant or prefer to boycott this type of "art". Apparently few visitors fall for it at the moment, as more museum attendants were present when I visited in September 2020 than actual visitors. Instead of 1 star, I even give 2 stars, because the guards always greeted them warmly. (Original) Über Geschmack lässt sich ja bekanntlich streiten. Um jedoch überhaupt ein Kunstobjekt geschmacklich bewerten zu können, muss der Künstler etwas abliefern. Dazu zählen Totalausfälle wie einheitlich graue Flächen auf rechteckiger Leinwand ohne jede Nuance oder ein Tisch mit roter Tischdecke mitten im Raum ohne jeden Bezug sicherlich nicht. Diese Darbietungen, und davon gibt es momentan einige in der Ausstellung, beleidigen m.E. eher die menschliche Intelligenz. Ich schreibe das hier, damit jeder Interessent vorab entscheiden kann, ob er ausreichend schmerztolerant ist oder diese Art "Kunst" lieber boykottiert. Aktuell fallen offenbar wenige Besucher darauf rein, da bei meinem Besuch im Sept. 2020 mehr Museumswärter anwesend waren als tatsächliche Besucher. Ich gebe statt 1 Stern sogar 2 Sterne, da die Wärter immer freundlich gegrüsst haben.

    Hesse is a central German state known for forests and Wiesbaden, a Roman spa town and now the state's capital city. Amid the skyscrapers of Frankfurt am Main, the state's largest city and Germany's financial center, lie the Städel art museum and the Goethe House—the author's childhood home. Across the Rhine River, in the wider cultural region of Rhine-Hesse, is the city of Mainz with its 1,000-year-old cathedral.

In a multi-storey building there are explanations about the life and work of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1945. There are many personal and original objects from his extensive work. Also many personal photos and with other friends and writers like Thomas Mann. A must-see for lovers of literature and fans of Hesse's work.

    (Translated by Google) An enriching visit for me! Many interesting details, from the life's work of the artist H. Hesse. It's unbelievable how many letters he wrote. It's a shame that we rarely write letters anymore. Even the creaking of the wooden stairs and floorboards of the exhibition are as respectable as the works of art by H.Hesse. It's nice that there are people who appreciate the work of H.Hesse and hold it in honor for US. The friendly receptionist was able to answer my questions professionally. The whole team was pleasantly friendly. It is a shame that the museum has to close due to the corona despite all corona measures taken. (Original) Für mich ein bereichernder Besuch ! Sehr viele interessante Details, aus dem Lebenswerk des Künstlers H.Hesse. Unglaublich,wie viele Briefe er verfasst hat. Schade eigendlich, dass wir nur noch selten Briefe schreiben.. Selbst das knarren der Holztreppen, und Dielen der Ausstellung, sind so Achteswert wie die Kunstwerke von H.Hesse. Schön, dass es Menschen gibt, die,das Wirken von H.Hesse schätzen und für UNS in Ehren halten. Die freundliche EmpfangsDame konnte meine gestellte Fragen Fachkompetent beantworten. Das ganze Team war angenehm freundlich. Schade, das Coronabedingt das Museum trotz aller befolgten Coronamaßnahmen schließen muss..

    (Translated by Google) Museum of my favorite writer and painter Herman Hesse located in my hometown of Calw. Admittedly, his house is slightly lower than the museum and is not for visitation. In the museum you can see his works, and the works of Thomas Mann objects, replicas of paintings and photographs. The museum runs from 11am to 5pm tickets are 5e for adults and the staff are very friendly, warmly especially Mrs. Susan, and wants to share her love for the writer, his works with his inmates. So we have learned many details from his life that you will not find on the internet. Thanks Suzana. Hurry to the museum as soon changing setup. I do not know whether to stay anything of his soul there. Now you can still feel the whiff. (Original) Muzej mog omiljenog pisca i slikara Hermana Hessea smješten u rodnom gradu Calwu. Doduše kuća mu se nalazi nešto niže od muzeja i nije za posjetu. U muzeju možete vidjeti njegova djela,i djela Thomas Manna predmete, replike slika i fotografija. Muzej radi od 11h do 17h ulaznica je 5e za odrasle i osoblje je vrlo ljubazno, srdačno osobito gđa. Suzana, i želi podijeliti svoju ljubav prema književniku, njegovim djelima sa njegovim zaljzbljenicima. Tako da smo saznali mnogo detalja iz njegova života koje nećete naći na internetu. Hvala Suzani. Požurite u muzej jer se ubrzo mijenja postava. Ne znam hoće li ostati išta od njegove duše tamo. Sada se još može osjetiti taj dašak.

  • 5/5 Gretchen R. 6 years ago on Google
    This is a very nice and well thought out art museum. I love all the August Macke paintings as well as all the contemporary art on display here. They do a great job with the space. I really enjoyed my time here and highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

    It's a museum. Quiet and calm. It is in the opposite of the House of the History of the Federal Republic of Germany in Bonn. You can visit it, but there you have to buy ticket. For students there is a conception on ticket probably 3.5 euro. Otherwise it is 7 euro in general. There is a fountain outside of the museum. In summer time you will find children are playing in the fountain. The water split in an artistic way. It's really aesthetic to see.

    Loved the rhenish expressionism artists and would have enjoyed seeing more. The rest of the museum was less appealing and more contemporary.

    A must visit when in Bonn or its surroundings. Very good museum with good exhibitions and exceptionally smooth service. We visit Sunday at 4 pm. We were 7 and paid around 31 euros to be able to visit various kinds of very interesting art exhibitions. The building itself is already something to admire. Modern, clean and artistic. The exhibition flow are well and neatly arranged with good and efficient service staff from ticketing all the way to the gift shop. It's not too busy on sunday afternoon so we can take as much time as we need to do observe the arts.

  • 4/5 Alberto B. 4 months ago on Google
    Very nice museum, a beautiful experience. A little bit confusing since I did not find any indication regarding the direction and the room sequence. The temporary exposition that I saw were amazing, of impact, and emotional. There are also some videos, very interesting and strong, but make attention if you are sensible to some contents. Maximum of 2 hours to see all rooms.

    Very interesting and fun museum. The security guy in the entrance was super nice and kind. We need to come back since 1.5 hours was not enough to visit all the museum. Entrance for students in free

    Nice museum but why does it have to be so warm inside. Really....in this energy crisis, warming up an huge museum to 23 degrees has no place. And this was not the first museum we visited that was much too warm. Just ask visitors to leave on their coats.
