Digital Collection: Kolbe Online

The scholarly indexing and successive digitization of the holdings of the Georg Kolbe Museum is progressing steadily. The results can be explored on „Kolbe Online„. The online collection contains sculptures, drawings, plaster models, historical photographs, correspondence to and from Georg Kolbe, as well as a growing number of works by other artists represented in the museum’s collection. A special feature of the virtual collection is the linking of items that are related in terms of content, which makes it possible to trace the genesis of individual works and to identify references within groups of works. Another area of the collection is currently being made digitally accessible, namely the prints that played an important role in Kolbe’s work during his lifetime.
