Museum Insel Hombroich - Stiftung Insel Hombroich

Insel Hombroich Foundation
Raketenstation Hombroich
P
It all began in 1816 when a park was established on a piece of land with ancient tree
and plant stocks surrounded by the waters of the Erft river, the actual “Hombroich
Island”. Landscape gardener Bernhard Korte reworked the overgrown park and
neighboring land, striking a balance between untouched nature and nurturing intervention to create today’s extraordinary outdoor environment. Sculptor Erwin Heerich
designed ten “walk-in sculptures” for the site – structures to house the art collection
of founder and patron Karl-Heinrich Müller. Painter Gotthard Graubner developed
the overall exhibition concept, a form of presentation in which art and cultural objects
from two millennia engage in a dialogue. In addition to East Asian art and a storehouse of archeological artifacts, the core art collection is built on the works of Jean
Fautrier, Lovis Corinth, Hans Arp, Kurt Schwitters, Alexander Calder and Yves Klein,
as well as Anatol Herzfeld, Erwin Heerich and Gotthard Graubner.

In establishing and endowing Museum Insel Hombroich Karl-Heinrich Müller created
a situation echoing Paul Cézanne’s idea of showing “art parallel to nature”. Since
1997 the Insel Hombroich Foundation has comprised Museum Insel Hombroich, the
Raketenstation Hombroich and the Kirkeby-Feld.
The nature conservation area Museum Insel Hombroich provides a protected habitat
for a wide range of animal and plant life. We have purposely left the footpaths free of
information plaques and sign postings and rely on you to treat this unique ensemble
of art and nature with respect.
Please note:
Remain on the designated footpaths.
Maintain a safe and respectful distance to the exhibits.
Enjoy the moment and refrain from photographing.
We provide food and drinking in our cafeteria. Don’t have picnic.
