Museum Ehrhardt, Kéré Architecture’s first museum project in Europe, breaks ground
The Museum Ehrhardt in Plüschow, in North East Germany, has officially broken ground. Upon completion this will be the first cultural project by Francis Kéré/Kéré Architecture in Germany and the studio’s first museum building in Europe.
Covering an area of 1,400 square meters, a new museum dedicated to photography and contemporary art will be built. The project is initiated by Dr. Jens Ehrhardt, son of the artist Alfred Ehrhardt, together with his wife Elke Weicht-Ehrhardt. The painter, photographer and filmmaker Alfred Ehrhardt (1901–1984) was among the leading figures of the New Objectivity movement, shaping the understanding of art in 20th-century Germany.
