💼 What the programme involves

The Museum Island Hombroich is an art museum. It distinguishes itself through its free-standing exhibition pavilions and renovated buildings, which are located in a restored park on the bank of the River Erft. In the style of Paul Cezanne, the museum s motto is Art is parallel with Nature . You ll be revitalising the course of a river in the park grounds. To do this, you ll need to remove sludge from ditches, get rid of branches in the water and also build small ramps and steps so that the water can flow again. In addition to this, you ll build 2 weirs. If there s still time, you ll be building fences around the horse paddock, or carry out maintenance work around the park.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You ll be staying in the guest house, which is in a remote location (the next town is 25 minute away on foot). You ll cook your own meals together.

📍 About the location

From the museum grounds you can reach the train station in 25 minutes on foot. From here you can go on many different trips: you can visit Dusseldorf, Cologne, Bonn, the Ruhr area or even the Netherlands. You ll receive a guided tour of the museum park. You ll be staying in a remote, but comfortable guest house. Neuss is the nearest town, which has cafes, swimming pools and shopping centres.
