The Grugabad is no ordinary outdoor pool. In addition to sunbathing and high diving, the Big Beautiful Building invites its visitors every summer to a series of exciting events that go far beyond the classic use of the outdoor pool. In addition to sporting activities, the special ambience of the listed building is also used for various cultural events. This summer the Grugabad will once again be inviting visitors to take an art bath. The series ranges from cosy picnics to art exhibitions, dance evenings, concerts and five-course menus.
Kunstbaden is a series of events organised by the city of Essen in cooperation with the Kulturbüro Essen and the Sport und Bäderbetriebe Essen under the artistic direction of Jelena Ivanovic. The aim is to perceive the listed Grugabad Essen in a different context and to enjoy concerts, exhibitions, performances and readings relaxed on towels, pillows, picnic blankets and the like in the open air.
