First plans for the foundation of such a museum existed already in 1979. With the foundation of a "Förderverein Rheinisches Malermuseum Bonn e.V." in 1985, more concrete plans for the design and financing could begin. Through membership in the Förderverein, retired master painters in particular were involved in the conception, construction and maintenance of the exhibition. The museum was opened on November 10, 1989.
The basis of the collection presented in the museum comes from the inheritance of a Bonn master painter. The detailed depiction of a painter's workshop around 1900, including the tools, paint mills, brushes, paints and other equipment in use at the time, forms the center of the small exhibition. Various techniques of the painter's craft are demonstrated by means of different designs for murals, ceilings and facade designs.
The history of the Bonn Guild of Painters and Decorators comprises another section of the exhibition. On the basis of flags, documents and invoices of the formerly independent guilds of Bonn, Bad Godesberg and the Rhein-Sieg district, the visitor gets an impression of the self-confidence of the painters' and decorators' trade in the Rhineland at that time. The original silver guild cup - a work from 1896 - is the showpiece of this exhibition area.
The museum is located at Berliner Platz 35-39, in the old painters' hall on the second floor of a former vocational school. Today, the separate building houses the gymnasium of the now closed Pestalozzi School, a former open all-day special school. Athletes from the Bonn Boxing Club train there. As an eye-catcher, the painted exterior façade from the Wilhelminian period is an advertisement for the museum that is visible from afar.
Hendrick Avercamp was a Dutch painter during the Dutch Golden Age of painting. He was one of the earliest landscape painters of the 17th-century Dutch school, he specialized in painting the Netherlands in winter. His paintings are colorful and lively, with carefully crafted images of the people in the landscape. His works give a vivid depiction of sport and leisure in the Netherlands in the beginning of the 17th century. Many of Avercamp's paintings feature people ice skating on frozen lakes.
Paul Jackson Pollock was an American painter and a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement. He was widely noticed for his "drip technique" of pouring or splashing liquid household paint onto a horizontal surface, enabling him to view and paint his canvases from all angles. It was called all-over painting and action painting, since he covered the entire canvas and used the force of his whole body to paint, often in a frenetic dancing style. This extreme form of abstraction divided the critics: some praised the immediacy of the creation, while others derided the random effects. In 2016, Pollock's painting titled Number 17A was reported to have fetched US$200 million in a private purchase.
Max Ernst was a German painter, sculptor, printmaker, graphic artist, and poet. A prolific artist, Ernst was a primary pioneer of the Dada movement and Surrealism in Europe. He had no formal artistic training, but his experimental attitude toward the making of art resulted in his invention of frottage—a technique that uses pencil rubbings of textured objects and relief surfaces to create images—and grattage, an analogous technique in which paint is scraped across canvas to reveal the imprints of the objects placed beneath. Ernst is noted for his unconventional drawing methods as well as for creating novels and pamphlets using the method of collages. He served as a soldier for four years during World War I, and this experience left him shocked, traumatised and critical of the modern world. During World War II he was designated an "undesirable foreigner" while living in France.
