Malchow Monastery Art Museum - encounter regional art on the Baltic Sea

The Malchow Monastery Art Museum is located in the heart of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and invites you to encounter regional art history in an extraordinary setting. In carefully renovated historical rooms of the former monastery, works of art are presented that are unique and make the history of the region tangible in an impressive way.

Works by important Mecklenburg artists in the former refectory

In the wing of the former refectory, the works of several important artists with a regional connection take center stage. On display are works by Rudolf Gahlbeck (1895-1972) and Friedrich-Franz Pingel (1904-1994), both born in Malchow, as well as works by Sieghard Dittner (1924-2002), who lived in Malchow for many years, and Peter Hesse (1921-2008). Particularly noteworthy is Rudolf Gahlbeck's study, which has been faithfully preserved and provides a rare insight into the artist's work.

Malchow as an excursion destination in the Mecklenburg Lake District and Baltic Sea region

Malchow is located in the Mecklenburg Lake District and is easily accessible from the Baltic Sea coast - for example from Rostock, Stralsund or Greifswald. The art museum is an excellent cultural excursion that can be combined with a visit to nearby coastal regions such as Fischland-Darß-Zingst or Rügen.
