With #IFEELYOU – Dimensions of Empathy, Kunstmuseum Bonn will open an exhibition on May 20, 2026, that sharpens the view on compassion, solidarity, and social cohesion. Visitors can expect an opening evening with free admission, no registration required, in a venue that is one of the important addresses for contemporary art in Germany.

An evening full of exchange and new perspectives

The opening focuses on encounters rather than distance. Central questions revolve around responsibility, communication, and the role of empathy in a present shaped by crises, debates, and radicalization. The exhibition concept connects artistic positions with participatory formats, creating an intense event experience between art, discussion, and personal perception.

Art that creates closeness

Works by Ulf Aminde, Renate Bertlmann, Joseph Beuys, Candice Breitz, Philipp Gufler, Hans Hemmert, Alfredo Jaar, Nikolaj Larsen, Franco & Eva Mattes, Katharina Mayer, Boris Mikhailov, Claudia Robles-Angel, and Evamaria Schaller will be showcased. The works approach empathy from social, political, and cultural perspectives, making visible how diverse contemporary art responds to the topic. It is precisely this blend of visual language, attitude, and spatial impact that shapes the special event atmosphere.

Kunstmuseum Bonn as a strong framework

Kunstmuseum Bonn is considered one of the major, nationally recognized museums for contemporary art. The new building, opened in 1992 on the Museumsmeile, is barrier-free and located in a well-connected area of Bonn. For visitors, there are stops, parking options, and accessible entrances available, making travel uncomplicated and facilitating event planning.

Why the visit is worthwhile

#IFEELYOU is not an exhibition for a quick walkthrough. It invites visitors to take their time, pause, and expand their own perception. Those looking for art with social relevance will experience a strong format with a clear stance, high artistic quality, and a highly relevant topic.

Conclusion: The opening of #IFEELYOU at Kunstmuseum Bonn combines free access, contemporary art, and a current social focus. Anyone wishing to experience a special cultural evening in Bonn should not miss this date.
