Gallery on the hill in Kloster - experience art on Hiddensee

The Galerie am Hügel in Kloster is a cultural venue on the island of Hiddensee, which is part of the Baltic Sea region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Every summer, changing exhibitions are held here, offering visitors a special insight into the visual arts. The tranquil, natural atmosphere of the island - known as the car-free counterpart to the neighboring island of Rügen - creates an atmospheric setting for the artistic offerings.

Art courses for children and adults in the studio

In summer, the studio at Galerie am Hügel offers practical art courses for children and adults. The "Painting with children" course creates large-format watercolors - it takes place on Wednesdays in July, August and October. The course costs €20 per child and €30 per adult. On Thursdays, participants can learn the technique of drypoint etching in the "Printing with children" course. The price here is €30 per child and €40 per adult. Both courses are aimed equally at families and individuals interested in art.

Museum of Local History Hiddensee

● Kloster

The local history museum is one of the cultural attractions on the island of Hiddensee. Redesigned a few years ago, the permanent exhibition provides a comprehensive and vivid account of life on the island. An insight into life on the island The Hiddensee local history museum is located directly on the west beach of Kloster. It was built around 1890 as a sea rescue station, but for almost 70 years now the old rescue equipment has only been part of the museum. In the permanent exhibition, which was redesigned a few years ago, visitors of all ages can find out how hard the islanders' lives used to be, how seafaring and fishing shaped everyday life, but also how quickly tourism reduced their worries and brought many prominent guests to the island. The most valuable exhibit in the exhibition is a replica of the Hiddensee gold treasure. The original of Germany's largest Viking gold find is in the possession of the Stralsund Museum. A small highlight of the museum visit for many guests is the "Amber Room". The extensive collection of the amber fisherman Ingolf Engels contains wonderful pieces and shows very nicely how diverse the "gold of the Baltic Sea" can be.
