Willi Siber. Cosmos Color

to April, 19, 2026

The exhibition “Cosmos Color” explores the oeuvre of renowned Upper Swabian artist Willi Siber (*1949 in Eberhardzell) on two floors. Beauty, perfection, sensuality, and aesthetics are essential leitmotifs for him, whether in his delicate lattice objects or dynamic steel sculptures, or in his expansive wall objects or relief panel paintings.

You can get an insight into the exhibition in our exhibition trailer.

Current Exhibition

Fabulous! The lion man and his descendants

to October, 4, 2026

For thousands of years, hybrid creatures combining human and animal features have inhabited the myths, images, and imaginations of our world—from the Lion-Man of the Paleolithic era to the sphinx, minotaur, mermaid, and modern-day cyborg. They symbolize our delight in fantasy, our wonder at life, and our longing for an expanded self.

In the presentation “Fabulous! The Lion Man and His Descendants” by the Museum Ulm as a guest at the kunsthalle weishaupt, depictions of hybrid beings repeatedly cited in cultural history over the centuries populate a wallpaper designed by graphic artist and exhibition designer Eva Hocke, which surrounds the approximately 40,000-year-old Lion Man from the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Ice Age Art and Caves in the Swabian Alb.”

The kunsthalle weishaupt is operated in cooperation with the city of Ulm and is supported by the Museum Ulm.
