The ART gallery connect the Museum to the Sønderborg area – here you get an overview of the art of painting in Northern Germany and Schleswig-Holstein during the 19th and 20st century. See the Paintings from the ARTIST-colony EGERNSUND at Flensborg Fjord, who around 1900 attracted many outdoor painters from all parts of the German empire. Works of Ernst Barlach, Erich Heckel, represent expressionism as well as works of EMIL NOLDE – who stayed some summer seasons at the forest Nørreskoven on the island of Als, where he build a little studio hut at the beach out of driftwood.
The ART NIVEAU exhibition also relates to Denmark. Here you can see a unique collection of gobelin tapestries. They all come from the international famous weaving school, which until 1919 was active in the village Skærbæk, at that time a part of Prussia.
