Hombroich Literature and Art Institute / Kahmen Collection

Invited by the founder of the Stiftung Insel Hombroich, the collector, art historian and German scholar Dr Volker Kahmen (1939–2017) moved into the Rosa Haus in the old park of Museum Insel Hombroich at the turn of the mill­en­nium, where he set up parts of his coll­ec­tion in a permanent museum instal­la­tion. The rooms, furnished with manu­scripts, books, original documents, photo­graphs, paintings and drawings, as well as everyday objects, minerals, fossils and archaeo­lo­gical artefacts, can be viewed on a guided tour of the house. 

The Rosa Haus is also home to the Literatur- und Kunst­in­stitut Hombroich, a non-profit foun­da­tion founded by Volker Kahmen. It preserves and looks after Kahmen’s coll­ec­tions and the Werner Kraft Archive and Bruno Goller Archive.

The Kahmen Coll­ec­tion in the Rosa Haus can be viewed as part of a guided tour for groups of up to 5 people. A group tour lasts approx. 90 minutes and costs 120€.

Indi­vi­duals also have the option of joining an open tour. As soon as the next dates are fixed, you will find them here.

Please make appoint­ments and other enquiries by telephone (+49 (0) 2182–2094) or via e‑mail (info@sammlung-kahmen.de)
