Exhibition “Deutschland 8” pulls in some 750,000 visitors
Record attendances in Beijing: The presentation of German art in Beijing attracted over half a million people in just six weeks, and generated overwhelmingly positive media coverage in both countries. Even for a city of art enthusiasts such as China’s capital, this represents a remarkable response, and testifies to the success of a transnational public-private partnership.

Exhibition tipp: SUSAN SWARTZ | PERSONAL PATH
December 10, 2016 – January 29, 2017
Ludwig Museum, Budapest
The museum is a place in which one finds oneself as a seeker or a viewer in ever-shifting emotional states, and in which fundamental questions of our being can be contemplated and discussed. The artist is now inviting us to abandon ourselves to this maelstrom of emotions as we follow her meditative sequence of paintings through the exhibition. More information here
The exhibition is a project of the Ludwig Muzeum Budapest in cooperation with the Foundation for Art and Culture in Bonn.
