"Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck"
Hans Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp are among the most important artists of the avant-garde in the 20th century. As pioneers of abstract art, they created a unique body of work.
The Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck has three large collection areas. However, these are not presented in a permanent display collection; rather, the artworks are shown in changing contexts and with complementary loans.
