The Horst Janssen Museum will be closed from 1 to 5 June. Refurbishment work is taking place on all three exhibition levels to adapt them to the new visitor entrance. During the past few years of construction, our exhibitions were accessed via the temporary entrance on the north side of the building. With the reopening of the City Museum and the new shared foyer, visitors will finally be able to access our exhibitions from the south side again via the stairwell, which will then be open once more. The Horst Janssen Museum will then also be accessible to all again.

From Saturday 6 June, we will be open again and you can reach us as easily as before from the Lappan junction via the new shared entrance with the City Museum. 

The artist Andrea Ziegler » “draws” with a sewing machine. With her exhibition ‘What is the Truth and where did it go?’, the Horst Janssen Museum scholarship holder enters into a dialogue with selected works by the draughtsman and graphic artist Horst Janssen. The starting point is the question of how truth, perception and trust arise in a media- and technology-driven present and become increasingly fragile. In freehand machine embroidery, Ziegler translates motifs, structures and figures of thought from Janssen's work into a contemporary, craft-based visual language. In doing so, she addresses current social issues and invites viewers to reinterpret images, tolerate ambivalence and develop their own perspectives.

15 August until 8 November 2026
