Collection

Spacious installations by international artists such as Joseph Kosuth, Mischa Kuball, Jan van Munster, Keith Sonnier, François Morellet, Maurizio Nannucci, Rebecca Horn or James Turrell have transformed the underground passages, cooling cellars and fermentation basins of a former brewery into breathtaking light spaces.

Tickets available one week in advance.

Experiences

Skyspace

James Turrell's colourful lighting experience Skyspace comes to life during sunset. Natural and artificial light meet at dusk and mutate the sky into a colour surface that seems to close down the room from the sky and yet is the sky itself.

The art work entitled 'Third Breath', which has been especially designed for Unna, links two perceptual rooms, Skyspace and Camera Obscura, and allows visitors to get a completely new visual experience.

Tickets available two weeks in advance.
