What about the Expressionists and the Impressionists? In the Westphalian Gallery in the Museum Kloster Bentlage, you can get to know these and other styles through around eighty paintings and some sculptures from the 20th century. The works on display here, all of which come from the holdings of the LWL Museum of Art and Culture in Münster, include paintings by such well-known artists as Wilhelm Morgner, Otto Modersohn, August Macke and Hermann Stenner. During a public tour of the museum collection on Sunday, November 5 at 3 p.m., visitors can explore the art of modernism in more detail with the expert guidance of a museum guide. The tour will start on the first floor of the museum with exciting information about another era, namely the late Middle Ages. To this day, important works of art associated with the history of the Bentlage Crusader monastery, founded in 1437, have been preserved in Bentlage. The guided tour thus offers the opportunity to take a cultural and historical journey through two very different eras. The cost is €5 per person, with the four-person ticket the cost is reduced to €4 per person.
