A Museum Day full of art, exchange, and free admission at DAS MINSK
On International Museum Day, DAS MINSK Art House in Potsdam opens its doors for an extraordinary art experience: On Sunday, May 17, 2026, visitors can expect free admission, a vibrant access to the current exhibition, and a program that makes the exhibition atmosphere palpable from the inside out.
Oscar Murillo between painting, installation, and community
At the center is Oscar Murillo. Collective Osmosis. The Colombian-born artist transforms the interior and exterior spaces of the house into an experiment about exchange, participation, and collective perception. His painting meets installation, the energy of the material, and a dialogue with Claude Monet, which historically opens up the present of the exhibition.
Participate instead of just observing
Especially significant is the Collective Painting on the terrace of MINSK. Visitors are invited to paint canvases with drawings from Murillo's participatory project Social mapping. This creates a communal work in the open air, which combines artwork observation, aesthetic experience, and cultural education.
Guided tours and perspectives on art and house
On Museum Day, paid public tours take place at 12:00 PM, 2:00 PM, and 3:00 PM. They offer different approaches: a feminist perspective on the house, a tour through the current exhibition, and a tour of the art and house history. This makes the visit a solid introduction to curation, collection context, and contemporary art, even for art-interested newcomers.
A house with its own character
DAS MINSK connects the history of the former terrace restaurant with a clear focus on contemporary art and East German art in the broader context of the Hasso Plattner collection. The architecture, open spatial effect, and barrier-free accessibility shape the exhibition atmosphere just as much as the changing programs that bring together art education and public discussion.
Why a visit is worthwhile
The International Museum Day at DAS MINSK promises more than just a tour: It offers an intense art experience between painting, community, and museum history. Those who want to experience art as a living process should not miss this date and should definitely discover the exhibition on-site.
