Art and culture

The Sauerland also has a whole range of interesting destinations for history and culture enthusiasts, all of which are well worth a visit. If you take a closer look, you will discover art and culture on almost every corner in the Sauerland.

The portfolio ranges from renowned institutions such as the Sauerland Museum in Arnsberg to technical cultural monuments such as the Wenden Ironworks or the German Wire Museum in Altena to lovingly run regional houses such as the Museum of Local History in Meschede-Eversberg or the Forestry Museum in Schmallenberg-Latrop. After all, the region can look back on a long cultural and industrial history, which now, in an excitingly prepared form, conveys the life of the people and the great importance of the Sauerland as an industrial location.

A visit to the galleries and studios is a truly artistic experience. These score points with exhibitions of regional artists, are venues for smaller concerts or readings, or are used for workshops, courses or seminars focusing on art and culture. Here you can become active yourself, get involved and exchange ideas with like-minded people.
