With an exhibition of carefully selected works from the SCHROTH COLLECTION, the Stiftung Konzeptuelle Kunst (Conceptual Art Foundation) is part of the programme of the European Capital of Culture Veszprém-Balaton 2023. 
In addition to paintings, embossed prints, kinetic sculptures, light art, site-specific installations, murals and much more, an outstanding ensemble from the Schroth Collection, “CENTURY. idee bauhaus“, is on display on the second floor of the museum. The project, comprising 100 individual contemporary works, was initiated by Matthias Seidel and Christiane Bail, drj art projects, and curated together with Simone Schimpf, Sibylle Hoiman, Frederik Schikowski and Frank F. Drewes. 
Carl-Jürgen Schroth – collector, founder, benefactor and chairman of the Stiftung Konzeptuelle Kunst – took Veszprém’s selection as European Capital of Culture as an opportunity to propose an exhibition cooperation with the related collection of László Vass, who runs a private museum in Veszprém. The idea was received enthusiastically and refined in close cooperation. Thus, this German-Hungarian cooperation now provides for a genuine exchange of collections for a limited period of time: While works from the Schroth Collection are on display at Veszprém from 20 January to 2 April 2023, in return works from the Hungarian Vass Collection will be on display at the Museum Wilhelm Morgner with RAUM SCHROTH in Soest from 26 March to 11 June 2023.
