Research

Research is an essential part of Museum Abteiberg’s work. Alongside projects devoted to individual artworks and areas of the collection, the museum is currently in the process of reexamining its institutional and exhibition history in Mönchengladbach. The findings are shared in digital and physical formats, through websites, publications, lectures, discussions, and exhibitions.
