Intro

The museum is located directly on the banks of the Rhine and offers rooms for exhibitions and events spread over three levels, which alternate between the themes of art, history and knowledge.

The museum, with its striking tower, is a meeting place for art and culture and stands out thanks to its location. It is located directly on the banks of the Rhine and offers rooms for exhibitions and events spread over three levels, which alternate between the themes of art, history and knowledge. Contemporary art and thematic references to the region play just as much a role in the exhibition concepts as cross-border approaches and historical contexts.

There are also two permanent exhibitions on display:

Carl Roesch (1884-1979) is one of Thurgau's best-known artists. He was given a full 78 years of artistic creativity. He lived and worked in Diessenhofen. From Zurich to Graubünden and Schaffhausen, many public works bear witness to the esteem in which he was held during his lifetime. One of the most extensive collections of works by the artist and his wife Margrit Roesch-Tanner can be found in the Museum kunst + wissen. The presentation is regularly changed so that the work of the two artists can be viewed from different angles. Their studio is in its original state and can be viewed on request. The studio is managed by the Carl and Margrit Roesch Foundation.

"Rotfarb" or "Turkish red dyeing" was the name given to both the process for producing red-dyed yarns and cloths and the production facilities themselves. In the mid-19th century, Heinrich Hanhart (1784-1854) and Johann Conrad Huber (1788-1871) set up a "Rotfarb und Cattundruckerei" in the building now used as a museum (built from 1558). This is where "Indiennes" were produced: Cloths and fabrics with colorful printed patterns on a red background. Textile pattern drawings, fabrics, printing models, tools and manufacturing certificates from this period have been preserved and are now on display in the museum.
