The villa designed by Belgian artist Henry van de Velde for the entrepreneur Herbert Eugen Esche is an architectural monument of European significance.

The Henry van de Velde Museum displays exhibits from the extensive holdings of the Chemnitz Art Collections: on the ground floor, the former dining room and music room give an impression of the original atmosphere with their largely authentic furnishings.

On the upper floor of the villa, there is a permanent exhibition in the former bedrooms, and in the bathroom, insights into the versatile artist’s entire oeuvre.
