The ZKM presents art and its production by guest artists on site. It is currently the only cultural institution worldwide that profoundly integrates the many aspects of art: production and research; exhibition and performance; education and dissemination; and conservation and restoration. The exhibition space of more than 15,000 m2, is used to present contemporary developments in art and society in all media genres and artistic practices – from oil paintings to apps, from classical composition to sampling. ZKMs interactive installations invite the thousands of visitors of all ages they attract every year to participate and actively engage with the art works.
