The museum is located in the middle of the Fischerhude meadows, the landscape that inspired Modersohn to new artistic explorations since 1908.
“The Modersohn-Museum is sensibly located at the end of a broad wetland meadow - and that means in Low German dialect: in the Breden-Au. With sure instinct, Christian Modersohn [founder] chose this remarkable beautiful place, typical of the landscape. We are pleased with the difference to an urban painting gallery.”
Gerhard Müller-Menckens, architect
This landscape, which has hardly changed until today, makes the encounter with Modersohn's art a remarkable experience.
