There you will find a wide range of strange and entertaining exhibits, from large collections of miniature porcelain nuns to gloomy recreations of ordinary dwellings to collections of inexplicable farm equipment (or torture devices, sometimes its hard to tell the difference). I can guarantee there'll be no butternut squash soup with pesto and foccacia on sale at €6.50, no babies in strollers and no white middle class visitors, mostly because you'll be the only visitor. Enjoy! I recommend passing by the modern art and instead paying a visit to the local folkloric museums.

His art seems fraudulent to me. But anyway, not the point. You're right - it's as though there's a monotone mindset in modern art, in which every city gallery looks at every other one and falls in line with conventional thinking. Art and the public do indeed deserve better than that. I’ve never “got” Beuys in particular. His art seems fraudulent to me. But anyway, not the point.
