Brücke Museum

The Brücke Museum is dedicated to the Expressionist artist group "Brücke," which was active in Dresden and Berlin from 1905 to 1913.

The Brücke Museum is the only museum in the world dedicated to this theme. Through its various temporary exhibitions, the museum presents paintings, watercolors, woodcuts, drawings, sculptures, prints and printed materials, offering a comprehensive insight into the artists’ work. On display are works by the founding members, as well as by Emil Nolde, Franz Nölken, Max Pechstein and other members of the “Brücke” and associated artists.

Expressionism: Significance of "Die Brücke"

Four architecture students founded "Die Brücke" (English: "The Bridge") in Dresden in June 1905: Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rotluff and Fritz Bleyl. The aim of the artist group was to break new ground and promote a freer understanding of art. The group’s works are characterized by the use of bold colors and a striking, often angular style. They are associated with the artistic movement of Expressionism.
