Ludwig Museum's collection is one of the few public collections that can be browsed online entirely. To make it easier for the viewer to get a better perception of the collection, our curators pre-selected the artworks based on a thought, or a concept. This way we can always re-thematize the collection and place them in new context.

THE DEAD WEB – THE END | exhibition online
How will the at once dematerialized and delocalized dynamics of power structures be impacted in both their evident economic and inevitably political manifestations if the network is disconnected? But also, what can still be said or done in the meantime? How does one occupy—or not— what is essentially borrowed time and space, a space-time henceforth to be shared between digital and physical realities.
Concept Art
Art movement from the late sixties to the mid-seventies that puts the idea, thought and theory before (or in the place of) creating the artwork.
New acquisitions
A selection from the artworks added to the collection in 2016-2017 by purchase, donation, and as a long-term deposit of Ludwig Stiftung.
