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 result is a contem­po­rary ‘chamber of art and curio­si­ties’. The rooms, furnished with manu­scripts, books, original documents, original contem­po­rary graphic art, 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 (cost: €24 per person, max. 5 people). Special condi­tions apply for pupils, students, etc. The tours take place irre­gu­larly. As soon as the next dates are fixed, you will find them here.
