Following the major exhibition European Realities in Chemnitz<\/em>, Museum More will present a focused selection of approximately 70 works from this international project, opening on 10 October 2025. The exhibition explores how artists across Europe responded to the turbulent interwar years through diverse Realist styles. Featuring renowned names like Otto Dix and Pablo Picasso alongside lesser-known artists from Central, Eastern, and Northern Europe, the show reflects themes such as the modern city, labor, gender roles, and rising political ideologies.<\/p>\n

European Realities <\/em>at Museum More <\/em>sheds new light on a lesser-known chapter of European art history and highlights the shared yet varied responses to societal change during the 1920s and 1930s. The exhibition is accompanied by this richly illustrated catalog, offering insights into both Dutch and broader European perspectives on Realism.<\/p>\n

This exhibition is a collaboration with Museum Gunzenhauser and Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz.<\/p>\n
