History and development
The museum's origins date back to the 19th century, with significant contributions from local art associations. The Westphalian Art Association, established in 1831, played a crucial role in collecting and preserving regional art. The museum has undergone several transformations, including the construction of a new building that opened in September 2014. ==References==
