Nolde Foundation Seebull. The Seebull Ada and Emil Nolde Foundation is a foundation established in 1956. It is the sponsor of an art museum in Seebull in Schleswig-Holstein. It shows works by the German painter Emil Nolde. The museum was opened in 1957, after Nolde's death, by the Seebüll Ada and Emil Nolde Foundation. The couple Ada and Emil Nolde acquired the undeveloped terp in 1926 and had a brick house built there that was modeled on Bauhaus architecture and thus consciously stood out from the surrounding Frisian houses. From 1930 lived the Nolde in the house. Further buildings and a garden based on Nolde's designs were subsequently built. After Emil Nolde's death in 1956, the house was turned into a museum. In 1996 the house and garden were placed under monument protection. In 2010 around 80,000 people visited the museum. The Noldes' house at Seebüll 31 is a two-story cube with single-storey extensions with a triangular floor plan. It was built according to Nolde's ideas between 1927 and 1928 with the help of his friend, architect Georg Rieve, as a studio and residential building and was expanded from 1934–37 with a picture room. In the flat roof are skylights. Today the former studio on the ground floor is part of the exhibition area and contains a picture room. A few years after Nolde's death, five buildings, which appear to be rather crude in comparison to the Nolde House, were erected on the site to cover the increasing space requirements of the foundation. These structurally unsatisfactory and technically inadequate buildings were demolished in the course of the reorganization of the entire area that began in 2004. In their place, two architecturally sophisticated new buildings were built in the following years to the southwest of the studio house according to plans by the architects around Walter Rolfes commissioned by the foundation; the forum and the office. Among other things, testimonies from Nolde's life are on display in the forum; there is also a café and a museum shop there. The office is the seat of the foundation with a library and offices.
