View Leicester’s internationally important German Expressionism collection without the crowds with a weekend pre-opening tour.

The collection features artworks by renowned Expressionist artists including Franz Marc and Wassily Kandinsky, founders of the influential Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) group, as well as Gabriele Münter, Lyonel Feininger and Lotte Laserstein.
2024 is the 80th anniversary of the founding of Leicester’s German Expressionist Art collection.
