Olbricht Foundation

The aim of the Olbricht Foundation is to promote contemporary art, artists and curators, as well as to generate public interest in art in general. As well as enabling rotating exhibitions featuring various facets of the Olbricht Collection and other international private art collections, the foundation also presents the cabinet of art and marvels, the Wunderkammer, now permanently installed at me Collectors Room. In addition, an extensive programme of events accompanies each exhibition.

By presenting old art in the Wunderkammer in conjunction with more contemporary art in the various exhibitions and by stimulating all the senses through the inclusion of music in the programme, we hope to provide new insights and new perspectives for visitors to enjoy at first hand.

Regular discussions are held, between collectors, artists and experts; concerts and readings are organized and, thanks to our special programme for children and young adults and our many guides tours, we can claim to bring both young and old closer to art.
