Sculpture Projects in Münster: Discover the Public Collection 1977–2017

Anyone visiting Münster has the unique opportunity to view sculptures from the Skulptur Projekte Münster for free: Since 1977, Münster transforms into a huge public exhibition space for a few months every ten years during the Skulptur Projekte Münster

After the end of each exhibition, some sculptures remain in the "Public Collection" and continue to be accessible free of charge. Below are some links to Google Maps lists featuring the locations of the sculptures, photos, and tips for visiting:

A great way to get from sculpture to sculpture is by bicycle, in typical Münster style. A relaxed tour of all the sculptures in the public collection of the Skulptur Projekte Münster can easily take a whole week. If you have less time, you might want to make a selection: the three remaining sculptures from 1977, for example, can be easily reached in one afternoon.

If you currently do not have the opportunity to visit Münster in person, you can enjoy a weather-independent, digital tour either via the map links above (along with the available reviews and photos) or directly with the following free e-books "Sculpture Projects in Münster":
