museum insel hombroich

I found all the different talent on display very refreshing. A perspective for everyone of any age. Take your children, your parents or your friends

The downside first: entrance fees are only payable in cash - no cards accepted. Prams would be so handy here but I was asked to leave ours behind and borrowed "baby straps". The good news: Insel Hombroich is a tranquil retreat from the hustle of the cities. Escape here and enjoy a stroll and a light free snack in the beautiful gardens.

We visited Museum Insel Hombroich with friends who live locally. We are glad we did. If you have ever been to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park near Wakefield, or to Glenkiln in Dumfries and Galloway then you will know the additional dimension created when art, architecture and landscape are combined.Museum Insel Hombroich follows a similar theme: an open landscape of fields, woodland and water meadows, criss-crossed with paths, along which are hidden sculptures and buildings containting exhibitions to explore, peruse and absorb at your leisure. Some of the works are inspiring, some challenging, some make you stop and think, and some are simply unintelligible. However, they are all worth the time.If you have half a day spare, and want to simply stop, escape, think, or just want to enjoy the walk, then Museum Insel Hombroich should certainly be on your shortlist.As you would expect with long meandering walks through the landscape, the experience is weather dependent, but fortunately the sun was out in full for our visit, which only added to the experience. It is also worth noting that the entry price includes a self-serve buffet style restaurant in the centre - this isn't made entirely clear, but food and drinks are free once you have paid for entry.

I have been to the museum with my family and we only visited the free exibition. It was so nice and we enjoyed our visit a lot! We loved this museum and we want to come back for sure because it's a very good place and it's perfect for a family day!

We found about about Insel Hombroich through a travel forum Jeb contributes to, and decided it sounded like it'd be worth a day trip from Dusseldorf. An S-Bahn ride and a bus trip later and we were transported into a secret garden which felt like another world.We had a lovely day walking through the beautiful surroundings, happening upon the various pavillions and objects. The natural surroundings would make you think it's all very unplanned, but the clever use of space, planting and buildings makes you realise that a lot of thought has gone into the park.The restaurant is wonderful - really fresh, flavoursome food served in lovely surroundings. We sat outside and enjoyed watching the ducks waddle around.Delores studied art history, so loved the curation. Jeb is more of a lay-man but still found the day really inspiring.It's like nothing else I've ever visited - do make the effort, and don't be put off by the location or the entry price - it's easily found and the lunch alone is worth the ticket price.

We only went to the outside exhibit which is free. It is great if you are interested in how open space, landscape and buildings, old and new, affect each other. Or if you just want to have a walk on a sunny day and look at things harmoniously blending with the landscape. Many objects can be climbed in or on, so I think kids will like it too. Perfect for a stress-free (family) outing. The small cafe has tasty homemade pies and quiches, made with local ingredients. I will definitely come back here.

The art collection is really worth seeing, also the beautiful natural surrounding. There is a nice restaurant (meals are included in the entrance fee) which offers delicious traditional local food.

Even if you aren't an art expert/lover it's worth a visit. Unique setting, special art, a place you'll never forget.

Well, no one with any travel experience would say that Germany does not have great art museums and galleries in all its major cities. Modern art in particular is very well represented. Hombroich is so lovely, it is like living art or performance art, where the visitor is the performer. The runish rocks in the woods, Adam and Eve as fantastic rusty ivy covered robots, gorgeous paintings and sculpture from India.. the list of why you should spend the day there goes on and on.

we went for a visit to hombroich museum insel. It is not so well known, but really worth a visit. It is a walk where you meet some buildings where the doors are open. Inside is a nice collection of art, a mixture of native and modern. Outside are also works of art, some hidden. Special is that there are no explanation cards (made bij mr x, born 19xx, name of painting, paint on linnen) There are no suppost. It is also your responsability to be a guest and enjoy the works of art. Nature is not to much cultured, paths are ok. but mostly common plants, appletrees etc.

The Insel Hombrioch is on the edge of Dusseldorf proper and offers one the ability to continue the pursuit of art, for which Dusseldorf is known, but in an environment where the art is wholly in harmony with nature. Once you pay admission, trails will guide you to various exhibits of art, architecture and sculpture. Along the way, you may encounter a beaver (as we did), or watch your children climb the many outdoor sculptures. Oddly, though there is some art of great value on display, what you won't encounter is the oppressive art museum guards that ubiquitously stand watch at most other museums of this caliber.A free lunch is provided at one of the pavillions, though the quality is somewhat mixed and the indoor seating oppressively warm. Finally, don't be put off by the austere website, which I felt did not accurately represent the accessibility of this site to the average tourist.

Eine zu jeder Jahreszeit abwechselungsreiche beruhigend wirkende Landschaft gepaart mit interessanten. Bauwerken und vielfältigen Kunstobjekten. Einfache, aber schmackhafte Speisen im Museumrestaurant sind im Eintrittspreis enthalten

Wer auf der Suche nach Inspiration und Ruhe im Umfeld von Düsseldorf und Neuss etwas besonderes sucht, sollte das Museum Insel Hombroich nicht verpassen! Kunst, Architektur und Natur gehen hier in einer einzigartige Verschmelzung in einander über. Der weitläufige Park lädt zum schlendern und verweilen ein. Die verstreut liegenden Galeriegebäude sind Skulptur und Kunstort in einem und die Garten- und Parkanlagen bieten zu jeder Jahreszeit reizvolle Blicke. Belohnen kann man sich im Cafe mit Innen- und Außenbereich, in dem alles frei erhältlich, weil bereits im Eintrittspreis enthalten.

Zu jeder Jahreszeit einen Besuch wert bietet die in den Erftwindungen nahe der Rheinmündung gelegene Museumsinsel ein traumhaftes Ensemble aus Architektur, Malerei und Skulptur aus den verschiedensten Epochen. Mit etwas Glück kann man den Künster Anatol inmitten seines Pavillon bei der Arbeit beobachten.

In der Erftaue gelegen stellt das Museum Insel Hombroich eine einmalige Kombination aus Landschaft/Natur, Architektur und Kunst dar. Die vom Architekten Heerich erstellten Ausstellungspavillons fügen sich in die Erflandschaft ein und gestalten diese mit. Die Sammlungen bestehen aus moderner Kunst und ostasiatischen und südseeischen Antiquitäten, die miteinander kombiniert sind. Erläuterungen zu den Artefakten sucht man vergebens. Dahinter steht die Intention, die Kunstwerke für sich selbst stehen zu lassen. Wenn man Glück hat, kann man dem Künstler Anatol Herzfeld begegnen, der auf dem Gelände sein Atelier betreibt und einen Teil des Geländes mit vielen Kunstwerken versehen hat. Das Museumscafe lädt zu einer deftigen Stärkung ein, die im Eintrittspreis enthalten ist.
