Two of the major collections of the Kunstmuseum Bonn (Bonn Art Museum) are "August Macke and the Rhenish Expressionists" and works of internationally recognised representatives of German art since 1945. In this highly praised construction that opened its doors in 1992, the Kunstmuseum Bonn formulates its claim to international class. In immediate proximity, the Art and Exhibition Hall of the German Republic, with no permanent collection of its own, puts on international expositions of many different types.
