The Felix Nussbaum Haus is an Extension
to the Cultural History Museum in Osnabrück for the work of Felix Nussbaum,
the Jewish artist born in Osnabrück in 1904. The Museum displays Nussbaum´s
graphics and paintings done prior to his extermination in Ausschwitz, as well
as house a temporary exhibition space dealing with themes of rascism and intolerance.
The new building abuts and enters the existing Museum with a minimum of alteration,
due to cost considerations. The Studio is designing the permanent graphic collection
cabinets housed in the existing Museum. The museum, built in a small town of 160,000
people has attracted an ever larger number of persons, with last years attendance
nearing 250,000
