Art on the Isar at the Röcklturm: Exhibition Experience in Landshut

Art on the Isar at the Röcklturm: A summer perspective on contemporary art in Landshut

The accompanying exhibition at the Röcklturm opens on June 27, 2026, providing a focused look at the project Art on the Isar. In the historic tower on the Isar promenade, visitors engage with the participating artists not only through the main project in the urban space but also through additional works, positions, and backgrounds. The art experience combines strolling, work observation, and cultural education into a special exhibition atmosphere.

The Röcklturm as a place of art

The Röcklturm is one of those places where history and the present closely converge. Once part of the medieval city wall and now used as an exhibition space, the tower visibly carries the traces of its past into the present. This creates the impact of this show: contemporary art unfolds in a space that is already a cultural-historical document.

Sculpture, Object, Installation: Art in Dialogue with the Isar

The project Art on the Isar 2026 includes sculptures, objects, and installations along and in the Isar. A total of 15 contemporary artworks by 14 artists from the city, district, and beyond have been announced. The accompanying exhibition at the Röcklturm deepens this urban parcours and makes visible how diverse regional contemporary art works today: material-conscious, site-specific, and open to new perspectives.

A tour with art historical depth

Particularly appealing is the transition between outdoor and indoor spaces. While the works at the Isar interact with the urban space, the Röcklturm consolidates the positions into a concentrated curatorial narrative. Thus, the visit becomes not only an aesthetic walk but a precise introduction to current forms of visual arts, addressing questions of space, material, perception, and site specificity.

Cultural education and free access

The exhibition is aimed at art enthusiasts as well as curious individuals who want to experience contemporary art in a vibrant urban context. The free admission makes the visit particularly accessible and invites spontaneous visiting. Those exploring Landshut with an open eye will find here an ideal opportunity for an inspiring work observation with a view of the Isar and the history of the city.

Conclusion

The accompanying exhibition at the Röcklturm is more than just an additional format: It is a concentrated access to a multifaceted art project that will visibly shape Landshut in summer 2026. Those who appreciate contemporary art, historical architecture, and cultural discoveries should definitely experience this place live.
