In this episode, I speak with Felicity Korn, Head of the 20th/21st Century Collection and Deputy Director at the Kunstpalast Düsseldorf.
We discuss her path into the art world, her experience with major exhibitions, and what it means to lead a collection in a city with one of Germany’s most vibrant art scenes. Korn shares how the Kunstpalast reflects Düsseldorf’s history and identity while adapting to a rapidly changing cultural landscape.

Topics include:
– Düsseldorf’s dynamic art ecosystem
– How museums stay relevant today
– Storytelling, accessibility & rethinking the “white cube”
– Hands-on learning and future exhibition-making

A conversation about vision, context, and shaping a museum for everyone.
