"THE OPEN BOOK" of the city of Hünfeld

The gateway to the urban museum

Since 1996, Hünfeld has developed into an open-air museum of a different kind. The "Concrete Poetry", a literary movement initiated by Eugen Gomringer, decorates many of the city's walls. The idea came from the artist Jürgen Blum, an engine of Concrete Art. In collaboration with the Museum Modern Art, of which Blum was director for many years, he began to realize the "Open Book" in Hünfeld together with Karl Möller and Elmar Wald.
