This public tour invites you on September 27, 2026, for a concentrated examination of works at the State Museum Schwerin. The focus is on the Old Masters, whose visual worlds still thrive on light, color, composition, and art historical depth.

An Artistic Experience between Collection, Space, and History

The State Museum Schwerin is one of the most important art addresses in Northern Germany. Its collection includes Dutch painting from the 17th century, paintings from the 16th to the 21st century, as well as crafts, drawings, prints, and numismatics. The tour provides a precise view of the quality of these holdings, on painterly handwritings, iconographic motifs, and the cultural radiance of the Old Masters.

When Painting Becomes Contemporary

Particularly impressive is the connection between historical collection and modern presentation. After the modernization of the house, restored surfaces, new lighting technology, and the generous spatial effect create an atmosphere in which old art appears with fresh presence. Works by Rubens, Rembrandt, and Frans Hals meet in Schwerin an audience that not only looks but reads in the best sense: image by image, detail by detail.

Schwerin Collection with a Clear Profile

The collection of the house has a distinctive profile. Notable are the Dutch paintings of the Golden Age and the animal images of Jean-Baptiste Oudry, of which the largest number in the world is located in Schwerin. A tour through these holdings opens the view for courtly representation, bourgeois pictorial culture, still lifes, portrait art, and the development of European painting over several centuries.

Accessibility and Visitor Comfort

The museum presents itself as inclusive and visitor-friendly. Electric lift platforms, automated doors, Wi-Fi in all rooms, as well as a newly designed café and a museum shop facilitate the visit and create a contemporary art experience.
