Nolde Museum Seebüll

The Nolde Stiftung Seebüll, also known as Stiftung Seebüll Ada und Emil Nolde, in English, the Nolde Foundation Seebüll, or the Seebüll Ada and Emil Nolde Foundation, is a foundation established in 1956, who is the sponsor of an art museum in Seebüll, in Schleswig-Holstein, dedicated to the life and works of the German painter Emil Nolde. The museum was opened in 1957, after Nolde's death, by the Seebüll Ada and Emil Nolde Foundation. History The couple Emil and Ada Nolde acquired the mound in 1926 and had a brick house built there, which was modeled on the Bauhaus architecture and thus deliberately different from the surrounding Frisian houses. [ 1 ] The Noldes lived in the house since 1930. Other buildings and a garden created according to Nolde's designs were subsequently made. After Nolde's death in 1956, the house was turned into a museum. In 1996 the house and garden were placed under monument protection.
