We discover the most important works of the Skulptur Projekte Münster, encounter internationally renowned artists, and experience Münster as Germany's largest open-air museum of contemporary art. By bike, we explore the exhibition in what is probably the most Münster-like way of all, connecting the most important locations of the Skulptur Projekte 2027 – from the historic old town center to Berg Fidel, Kinderhaus, and the York Quarter – and reaching significantly more works of art by bike than on a classic city tour.
BEYOND THE OLD TOWN INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS
For its 50th anniversary, the Skulptur Projekte is opening a new chapter: For the first time, in addition to the historic old town, the living environments of other parts of the city are also deliberately brought into the center of attention. That's exactly why we're experiencing the exhibition by bike: We connect the most important locations of the Skulptur Projekte, cover longer distances, and experience the exhibition as it is intended to be in 2027 – far beyond the picturesque historic city center.
MORE THAN JUST A SCULPTURE – ART IN CONTEXT
Each work tells more than its own story. Together, we discover the artists behind the sculptures, their ideas, and their style. We ask why a work was created in this exact location, what story this place tells, and how architecture, landscape, or city history become part of the art. This is how we unlock the sculptures step by step – from their creation to their message to their impact on Münster and its people.
50 YEARS OF SKULPTUR PROJEKTE – FROM EXPERIMENT TO GLOBAL BRAND
Together, we look back on 50 years of Skulptur Projekte and learn how an initially controversial idea became one of the world's most important exhibitions for art in public space. Many works were initially the subject of heated debate, ridiculed, or even rejected. Today, of course, they are part of the cityscape and shape Münster's identity far beyond the city limits. We learn what made each edition of the Skulptur Projekte unique and also encounter works from previous exhibitions.
