Art for Everyone

Gemaeldesammlung

Come. View. Take Home. Great art at a small price from the Bayer Art Library collection.

Our office world at Bayer is changing rapidly. More and more people are spending their workdays in home offices. Individual offices are becoming less common. To ensure that the artworks in our art library do not feel lonely, we are offering a large portion of the Bayer collection for purchase.

 

Visit us in June 2025 during the stARTfestival at the Erholungshaus and take your pick. All proceeds will benefit the PalliLev Hospice Center in Leverkusen.
