The Kunsthalle Düsseldorf is closing. Welcome to the opening!
–
The Kunsthalle Düsseldorf will undergo some major changes in 2026: The building on Grabbeplatz is scheduled to be closed for renovations starting in April 2026 for up to three years (more information on the renovation is available here).
But this doesn’t mean that the program will stop. On the contrary, to remain visible and accessible to you, we’re planning to embark on a tour of Düsseldorf’s 50 districts and to partner with other institutions, in temporary spaces, in parks, and on public squares. We’re coming to where you are to realize an exciting program of exhibitions, events, and educational activities together with you.
Our focus will remain the same: The Kunsthalle Düsseldorf as a place for the contemporary, a space for experiments, experiences, international trends, and local perspectives. A platform for emerging talent and established names, a base for artists, and a site for opportunities. With its program, the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf will continue to explore contemporary topics, create spaces for discourse, and be a vibrant place for exchange.
We are currently planning the first stops on our tour. From one-day concerts, readings, and performances to multi-day or multi-week projects and exhibitions, you can look forward to an exciting and wide-ranging program with many interesting partners.
We will also be making guest appearances on Grabbeplatz and online. In summer 2025, we will present further details about our plans.
Do you have an idea for where we should come in Düsseldorf? Feel free to let us know! We look forward to hearing your suggestions.
