An evening that makes Böckstiegel readable anew

The dialogical tour at the Museum Peter August Böckstiegel opens on April 22, 2026, a particularly close access to the art of Peter August Böckstiegel. With David Riedel, artistic director of the museum, the exhibition is not only viewed but explored in conversation: as an art experience, as a work examination, and as a lively engagement with themes, motives, and visual language.

Between flowers, nudes, and modern sharpness of view

The dialogical approach makes the tour an aesthetic experience with tempo and depth. Selected works and their formal tension, as well as their cultural-historical context, are at the center. Böckstiegel's painting, drawing, and printmaking connect expressive colorfulness with an intense observation of humans and nature. Especially in the current exhibition, this perspective on body, bloom, and motive unfolds as a sensually condensed visual world.

A museum that takes art education seriously

The Museum Peter August Böckstiegel sees itself as a place of cultural education. The tour is designed as a one-hour conversation and explicitly invites questions and comments. This makes the exhibition not passively consumed, but jointly explored. Those who wish to experience art history, curation, and education in interplay will find here a precise and at the same time open format.

Peter August Böckstiegel in the art-historical context

Peter August Böckstiegel is one of the defining Westphalian expressionists. His education began at the crafts and arts and crafts school in Bielefeld; the modern era, the Sonderbund exhibition, and the art of van Gogh, Cézanne, Gauguin, and the artists of Die Brücke early influenced him. The museum preserves and conveys this legacy in a place that, together with the artist's house, the estate, and the architecture of the museum itself, creates an extraordinary exhibition atmosphere.
