Brundlund Castle & Art Museum are currently presenting a major exhibition, A Collage - Franciska Clausen 125 years, devoted to the local artist Franciska Clausen and her international vision.

You can explore a real kaleidoscope of an exhibition that reveals the huge variety of works that Franciska Clausen created. These include a number of collages, which Franciska Clausen mainly worked on from the post-war period and up to the 1970s. In addition to the collages, the exhibition also presents a number of distinguished children’s drawings and many of the familiar paintings and poster designs from Franciska Clausen’s time in Berlin and Paris.

Throughout the exhibition, you are encouraged to explore using both your eyes and hands – try combining different shapes and colours to create compelling compositions.
