The museum, Kunst über der Wasser, translated from German as “Art Over the Water,” is located in Boppard, Germany along the Rhine River. With large open windows that flaunt the stunning landscape and steel accents representing the river’s current, Kunst über der Wasser extends over the Rhine River illuminating the emphasis on works of art that showcase Earth’s greatest feature, water. Curators will strive to use only natural lighting in the Kunst über der Wasser in order to achieve a relaxing nature-like feel to the museum. The entrance will be vast yet elegant with hues of greens, blues and turquoise to compliment the surrounding riverside town. As art enthusiasts venture deeper into the Kunst über der Wasser, they will be greeted with crystal glass flooring separating each room, looking down at the Rhine River.
Boppard is a quaint town nestled in Western Germany along the romantic Rhine River. Once a Roman Fort, Boppard is rich with 2,000 year-old history that is scattered throughout. Tourists and locals alike wander along the many walkways beside the Rhine as the warm sun kisses their cheeks and blossoms from ancient orchards dance in their hair. “The unforgettable hills and valleys, quiet lanes and lively squares {with a} wealth of nature and culture” is the perfect place for a dazzling art exhibit ("Welcome to Boppard").
The theme of Kunst über der Wasser is the everlasting livelihood, culture and recreation surrounding water.

    Many might have been working on Good Friday, but many others were enjoying The Frist Museum of Visual Arts. A museum visitor visited this exhibit on April 14, 2017 early in the morning. The time that was spent at the art museum was approximately two hours and a half. The first impression that one received was that this place was a place of peace and also a place to expand the viewer’s imagination to understand what artists were expressing to the viewers. The viewer was very interested in all the art that was seen ,but there is so much one can absorb. The lighting in the museum was very low and some of the lighting was by direction LED lights. The artwork was spaciously

    The Haus der Kunst, or House of Art, is an art museum located in Munich, Germany. The rich history of the museum and the city in which it lies is strongly tied to the Nazi party’s rise to power. The construction of the exhibits and the museum itself was strongly propelled by Hitler’s efforts and his opinions on art: on what to preserve and what to destroy. The museum and what it portrays has changed in many ways from the original vision Hitler held for it, survived through WWII, and still remains a prominent museum in Germany today (“Historical Documentation”).
