The exhibition tells about the exceptional history of the Bremen Kunsthalle, which is characterized by its strong civic commitment, close ties between private collecting and institutional care, as well as early work on professional research and promotion of contemporary art.

The exhibition emphasizes the influence of contemporary discourse on art and its perception in Germany, the first country to adopt impressionism and post-impressionism.
