Paul Klee was characterized by his dual talent as an artist and musician. Even as a young man, he played the violin in the town orchestra. The decision between music and art was difficult for him.

He chose the visual arts because he saw more opportunities to create something completely new in this field. He artistically implemented musical aspects such as rhythm, melody and polyphony in his works and also taught these at the Bauhaus. To this day, many compositions have been created based on his works. The focus exhibition explores this cross-fertilization.
