Like many other German cities, Krefeld opened itself to culture through the founding of a museum in the 1890s. The first museum director, Friedrich Deneken, had connections with important artists including Peter Behrens, Hermann Muthesius and Henry van de Velde. He instituted an ambitious exhibition schedule, bringing many influential shows and paintings to the museum and exposing the local populace to quintessential works and art movements. The exhibitions inlcuded examples of Dutch art (see Swann sale 2006, lot 4), French Impressionism and German Expressionism.
