Overview

To avoid long waiting times at the box office in the evening, we recommend purchasing tickets online or on site in the days before the event.

The artist, physician and psychotherapist Adolf Bierbrauer (1915-2012) treated his patients for depression after the Second World War with hypnosis, as an alternative to the common practice of electroconvulsive therapy. During the therapy he painted what had been entrusted to him. This is how the "Hypnosebilder" came about, which he discussed with them after they woke up.

A selection of these pictures, as well as later paintings, will be shown in the exhibition.

We thank Martin Leyer-Pritzkow for his support in realising the exhibition.
